- A quantity value can be presented in more than one way.
- In the case of vector or tensor quantities, each component has a quantity value.
- For example, force acting on a given particle, e.g. in Cartesian components
$(F_x; F_y; F_z) = (31.5; 43.2; 17.0) \mathsf{N}$.
$(F_x; F_y; F_z) = (31.5; 43.2; 17.0)\;\mathsf{N}$.
