     Abstract unit, the unit of numeration; one taken in the
        abstract; the number represented by 1. The term is used in
        distinction from concrete, or determinate, unit, that is,
        a unit in which the kind of thing is expressed; a unit of
        measure or value; as 1 foot, 1 dollar, 1 pound, and the
        like.

     Physical unit, a value or magnitude conventionally adopted
        as a unit or standard in physical measurements. The

        length, mass, and time, and on the density or other
        properties of some substance, for example, water. See

     Unit of heat (Physics), a determinate quantity of heat
        adopted as a unit of measure; a thermal unit (see under

     Unit of measure (as of length, surface, volume, dry
        measure, liquid measure, money, weight, time, and the
        like), in general, a determinate quantity or magnitude of
        the kind designated, taken as a standard of comparison for
        others of the same kind, in assigning to them numerical
        values, as 1 foot, 1 yard, 1 mile, 1 square foot, 1 square
        yard, 1 cubic foot, 1 peck, 1 bushel, 1 gallon, 1 cent, 1
        ounce, 1 pound, 1 hour, and the like; more specifically,
        the fundamental unit adopted in any system of weights,
        measures, or money, by which its several denominations are
        regulated, and which is itself defined by comparison with
        some known magnitude, either natural or empirical, as, in
        the United States, the dollar for money, the pound
        avoirdupois for weight, the yard for length, the gallon of
        8.3389 pounds avoirdupois of water at 39.8[deg] Fahr.
        (about 231 cubic inches) for liquid measure, etc.; in
        Great Britain, the pound sterling, the pound troy, the
        yard, or 1/108719 part of the length of a second's
        pendulum at London, the gallon of 277.274 cubic inches,
        etc.; in the metric system, the meter, the liter, the
        gram, etc.
  
     Unit of power. (Mach.) See Horse power.
  
     Unit of resistance. (Elec.) See Resistance, n., 4, and

     Unit of work (Physics), the amount of work done by a unit
        force acting through a unit distance, or the amount
        required to lift a unit weight through a unit distance
        against gravitation. See Erg, Foot Pound,
        Kilogrammeter.
  
     Unit stress (Mech. Physics), stress per unit of area;
        intensity of stress. It is expressed in ounces, pounds,
        tons, etc., per square inch, square foot, or square yard,
        etc., or in atmospheres, or inches of mercury or water, or
        the like.
