There's an equivalence between quantities in mechanics and electrical circuits. Given the similarity between F = −kx = C dx/dt = M d2x/dt2 and V = Q/C = R dQ/dt = L d2Q/dt2, we can say that Force : Voltage, Springiness : Capacitance, Mass: Inductance, and Damping: Resistance.
Is there any equivalent to the quantities we care about when designing software, such as CPU operations, memory, network bandwidth, and disk speed?
