Let’s say you have a division. You’ve got 3/2, where 3 might be acres and 2 might be brothers so from there you could deduce that the division just means that the 3 acres of land will be distributed between two brothers. Summation and multiplication are quite straight forward, but what the hell does one do with multiplication and exponentiation? If I got 20 N-m of torque, wtf does the multiplication tells me there? If something follows a square root?
Please feel free to add any other operations to these. Thanks!

A N-m is a force multiplied by a distance. If you hold a meter-long stick horizontally and hang a weight of 1 N on the end of it, then you are supporting 1 N-m (at your wrist).
But it can also be 2 N * 0.5 m, etc, which is the same torque.
