$1000ms$

we will deal with the numerical and dimensional parts separately

$(1)" "$ numerical part

$60/0.060$

when dividing by a decimal the best approach is to multiply top and bottom by a power of $10$ in order to make the denominator a whole number.

$60/0.060xx100/100$

$=6000/6$

$=1000$

$(2) " "$ Dimensional part

$(ms^2)/s$

change so that all dimensions are on top.

$=ms^2s^(-1)$

use rules of powers

$=ms^(2+ -1)=ms^1=ms$

put the two together

$=1000ms$

What is (60. ms^2)/(0.060s) (60. ms^2)/(0.060s) ?
