qu.x.y.mode=Dimensioned formula@
The Dimensioned formula question type is a highly versatile. Correct answers can include algebraic formulas, unit dimensions, numeric responses, or any combination of these.
Use this question type for any formula where you require the student to specify the physical units for the expression (for example, m/s or kg/cm^2), and where the formula is not an equation. When you give the units with the answer, you must use the units that are recognized by the system.
The system can convert between units of the same type. For example, if you type the answer as 30s, the student can give the answer as 30s, 0.5min, or 1/120 hour. In each case, the system grades the response correct.
In a test, the input field for the answer appears with a link provided to a list of the recognized units.
