Dr. Jay L. Wile - Most complicated measurement units are named in honor of someone. For example, the "kilogram-meter per second squared" is named the " Newton" in honor of Sir Isaac Newton.
![SOLVED: The SI unit of power is the joule per second: Just as we renamed the newton meter as the joule, we define 1 joule per second as 1 watt.
