Unit Conversion and Dimensional Analysis

The video tutorial explains how to compare two different units of measurement by converting them to the same unit. It uses the example of comparing 2 kilograms and 6 million grams. The video demonstrates the process of converting kilograms to grams using dimensional analysis, showing that 2 kilograms is equal to 2000 grams. Therefore, 6 million grams is larger than 2 kilograms.
