Our timid tricycle rider is welcome to try such a search. But that explanation is something I've given in front of classes of students for decades. It's fundamental and important knowledge for Engineering Mechanics courses, and until it's well explained, it does confuse students.
(I remember my undergraduate study partners asking "But what _is_ 'g-sub-c'?" i.e. the conversion factor relating pounds mass and pounds force.
My only difficulty in typing that was deciding the best way to represent multiple levels of units in ASCII text without confusing those unfamiliar with the terms.
The Florida guy really needs to seek therapy. His obsession with me is way past making him look foolish, and is getting uncontrollable.
