Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static Unit	degree CommonUnit for plane angle, not temperature
static Unit	dimensionless CommonUnit for all BaseUnits with exponent = zero
static Unit	meter CommonUnit for length
static Unit	meterPerSecond CommonUnit for speed
static Unit	promiscuous promiscuous is compatible with any Unit; useful for constants; not the same as null Unit, which is only compatible with other null Units; not the same as dimensionless, which is not compatible with other Units for addition and subtraction
