1.1 bowersj2 2:
3: Numerical Response problems can require units. In the problem editing form,
1.5 lira 4: place the desired unit in the \textbf{Unit} field. A complete list of
1.6 ! raeburn 5: units is in the Physical Units section (\ref{Physical_Units}).
1.1 bowersj2 6: The computer will accept the answer in any of its accepted unit formats.
7: For example, if the answer to a problem is {}``1ft'', the computer will
8: accept {}``12in'' as correct.
1.4 dseaton 9:
10: Additional units can be defined using the ``customunits'' parameter, which is a comma-separated list of unit conversions. For example
11: \begin{verbatim}
12: peck=2*gallon,bushel=8*gallon,gallon=4.4*L
13: \end{verbatim}
14: would define the new units peck, bushel, and gallon. The last entry in a conversion chain always needs to be a unit that LON-CAPA already supports.
