Remember
whenever you evaluate a term that is within a function such as ln, exp, sin,
etc, the term should be dimensionless. If it is not, then keep checking until
you find either an error in your work or an error in the printed equation that
you are working from.
Also remember to check the units you calculate to be sure they are what you
expect. If they are not coming out as you expect evaluate both your work and
the form of the expression.
It is not unusual for equations to be published with errors. Sometimes it is
not clear if a group of variables is in a denominator or just the first value
is in the denominator. For example, t/dk is not clearly t/(dk) or (tk)/d, but
if the term is in a function such as ln(t/dk) and the variables have the following
units: t:T d:L and k:LT-1, then you know it must be (tk)/d so that
the units are TLT-1L-1 and the term is dimensionless.
On the other hand, if this term was not within a function and you expected a
result with the units T2/L2, then you would interpret
it as t/(dk) because that would yield units of TL-1L-1T
or T2L-2 or T2/L2.
