A knot is equivalent to a nautical mile per hour, but it's still a single base unit for speed. All speeds can be given in distance per time, of course, but the name for the unit doesn't have to be derived from other terms. lay'tel SIvten On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 9:34 AM, Jeremy Silver <jp.silver@tiscali.co.uk> wrote:
