From the units, I can tell that it's the acceleration of gravity, usually represented as 'G'. But I've been using the value of 9.78 for gravitation near the surface on the equator. We should both go back and check it. By the way ... it's not a 'fundamental constant'. There's nothing fundamental about it, and it varies all over the place, even on a trip along the earth's surface, or on a hike up a mountain.

Definition of fundamental and derived units?

The fundamental quantities:TimeSpace (or length)MassTemperatureElectrical currentLuminosityAmount of matterA fundamental quantity is an irreducible "thing". It cannot be described in terms of other "things". This is in contrast to derived quantities, which can be described in terms of other "things". Fundamental quantities are also called base quantitiesFundamental quantities can be considered to be dimensions, but in a loose context. In physics, when we refer to dimensions, we usually refer to space and time (and theoretically higher similar dimensions), and not the dimension of the luminosity (see below).Each fundamental quantity has an associated unit in the SI system:Time: seconds (s)Space: meters (m)Mass: kilograms (kg)Temperature: degrees kelvin (K)Electrical current: ampere (A)Luminosity: candela (l)Amount of matter: moleDerived QuantitiesAll other quantities in physics can be expressed in terms of the fundamental quantities. Examples are velocity (space divided by time), acceleration (space divided by time squared), force (mass times space divided by time squared) or energy (mass times the constant representing the speed of light squared - aka. space divided by time all squared). Understanding this concept helps in understanding how all equations work, and how different "things" are related CommentThere are no such things as SI 'derived units'; the correct term is 'base units'.

Is Einstein's famous equation Emc squared a theory?

Einstein's equation E=mc^2 is not a theory, but a fundamental principle in physics known as the mass-energy equivalence. It explains how energy can be converted into mass and vice versa, based on the speed of light squared.

Why do so many physics equations have variables squared?

Many physics equations involve variables squared because it represents a relationship between two quantities that involves both of them multiplied by each other. Squaring a variable allows for the representation of non-linear relationships and calculations involving quantities that are squared, such as areas or volumes.
