rate of work = 1 / (deadline - current time)

What unit is the 1?

[–] Snazz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Because there are no units, the equation can only be used to compare one rate of work to another rate of work at a different time (or a different deadline).

ratio of rate of work at time t1 compared to rate of work at time t2

= rate_of_work(t1, d) / rate_of_work(t2, d)

= (1 / (d - t1)) / (1 / (d - t2))

= (d - t2) / (d - t1)

This works because the only variables left are in the same units, even if that unit itself is unspecified.

could a unit for this be s^-1^?

[–] tee9000@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Its a factor. It doesnt have a unit.
