Hello! Is it possible to simplify the expression 4 Newton/2 Kilogram to yield Meter/Second^2? Mathematica just outputs 2 Newton/Kilogram Of course it is possible to Convert it using Convert[%,Meter/Second^2], but that's only possible, if I know, what's coming out at the end of the caculation. It would be nice if Mathematica itself would take care of using appropriate "versions" of the different derived SI-units. Any solutions? Christian Gudrian
