See below...
Explanation:
Since the equation given multiplies by
However, since it looks a lot like the equation for a traveling sine wave, perhaps you meant to type this instead...
Traveling sine wave:
#y=Asin(((2pi(x-vt)))/lambda)#
Our Units:
#|->y="m# #|->A="m"# #|->x="m"# #|->lambda="m"# #|->t="s"# #|->v="m"//"s"#
We now have:
#m="m"sin(((2pi("m"-("m"/cancel"s")(cancels))))/m)#
#="m"sin((2pi*((cancel"m"-cancel"m"))/cancelm))#
#="m"sin(2pi"(dimensionless value)")#
Since the sine function takes on a dimensionless argument and will return a dimensionless value, we are left with:
#"m"="m"#
