Friction is a force, which is measured in newtons. However, what is often quoted is the coefficient of friction, defined as friction/load, which is dimensionless and thus has no units.

Why is a solid figure measured in cubic units?

The length, width, or height of a solid figure is measured in units of length. The area of the figure's outside surfaces is measured in squared units of length. The volume of space filled by the figure is measured in cubed units of length. The mass of the figure is measured in units of mass. The weight of the object is measured in units of force. The age of the figure is measured in units of time. etc.


How is area wrote in cubic units?

Area is measured in square units. Volume is measured in cubic units.


What unit measures friction?

Friction is a force. I'll get back to that.Weight, which is usually measured in pounds or ounces or grams (depending on where you live or what you're measuring), has an official (SI) unit of newtons. An object's weight depends on the gravity affecting that object. (You probably know that you weigh less on the Moon than you do on Earth.)Gravity, which is a force, is consequently measured in newtons, just like weight. All forces are measured in newtons.Therefore, friction, which is a force, is measured in newtons.


What area is measured in length units?

None. Area cannot be measured in length units - only in squares of such units.
