Stokes (St) is a unit in the category of Kinematic viscosity. This unit is commonly used in the cgs unit system. Stokes (St) has a dimension of L²T^-1 where L is length, and T is time. It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit m²/s by multiplying its value by a factor of 0.0001.

Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).

Other units in the category of Kinematic viscosity include Centistokes (cSt), Square Centimeter Per Second (cm²/s), Square Foot Per Hour (ft²/h), Square Foot Per Second (ft²/s), Square Inch Per Hour (in²/h), Square Inch Per Second (in²/s), Square Meter Per Hour (m²/h), and Square Meter Per Second (m²/s).
