Fundamental quantities

Mechanics requires only three fundamental quantity concepts: Length,
Force and Time. All of the other quantity concepts can be derived from
these three: Units of length such as inches, feet, and meters; in three
dimensions; units of force such as pounds, newtons and dynes with which
matter thrusts against other matter to displace it, and units of time
such as years, days, hours minutes and seconds during which this
happens.

Mass is a derived quantity: Being the quantity of matter in a body;
where the force exerted on and/or by it, divided by the acceleration it
causes is it's inertia; the numerical value of its quantity; in such as
slugs, kilograms or grams.

don get a new hobby

Why? Don't you want to learn about physics.
Oh, I bet you don't want anybody rocking the gravy boat.

Its ok don i learnt plenty about physics when i got my first class degree in
it...

Without that what would you have known about it?

don i think you're a walking example of a little knowledge being a dangerous
thing

Yes it could be dangerous to the entire edifice of theoretical physics:
Bring the whole house of cards down around our rears(;^)

don, i doubt sincerely that naively re-stating Newtons 2nd is going to give
Steven Hawking too many sleepless nights...

Oh yeah; what's zat supposed to prove? Jeremy knows he's doesn't know
shinola from physics anyway.
