Effective Haskell: B6.0, Chapter 4, p.148: dimension mismatch
@RebeccaSkinner
In the section “Wrapping Basic Data Types”, there is the velocity
function and gravity
(i.e. on earth at sea level) is being defined as a velocity, but gravity
is an acceleration, not a velocity and has dimensions length / time squared
, so the dimensions are off.
So I would suggest using a real velocity here like the speed of light:
speedOfLight :: Double
speedOfLight =
let
meters = 299792458.0 :: Double
seconds = 1.0 :: Double
in velocity meters seconds
