- Method Detail
  - isReciprocalOf
```
boolean isReciprocalOf(DerivedUnit that)
```
    Indicates if this derived unit is the reciprocal of another derived unit (e.g. "second" and "hertz").
    
    Parameters:
    
    that - The other, derived unit.
  - getDimension
```
UnitDimension getDimension()
```
    Returns the unit dimension of this derived unit. For example, the unit "newton" has the unit dimension "kg.m.s-2".
    
    Returns:
    
    The unit dimension of this derived unit.
  - getQuantityDimension
```
QuantityDimension getQuantityDimension()
```
    Return the quantity dimension of this derived unit. For example, the unit "newton" has the quantity dimension "M.L.t-2").
    
    Returns:
    
    The quantity dimension of this derived unit.
