In section 5 of the "Preliminary: On the measurement of quantities" chapter (page 3) in "A treatise on electricity and magnetism" Maxwell uses, total length, s=mt2/2r2to show that m=2sr2/t2 is in units of Length cubed over Time squared.
This is the first I have encountered this way of looking at mass and am wondering:
- Is this just per-relativity nonsense?
- Does mass being "length cubed over time squared" have any meaning?
