f(t)f(t) tells us the ratio of wing cord length to weight of an tt weeks old owlet.

Therefore, unit that describes the growth rate of the described ratio:

f(t)=(wm)=wmwmm2=gramsmillimeters weeks1grams2=millimetersgramsweek\begin{align*} f' (t) \hspace{0.2cm}&= \hspace{0.2cm}\left(\frac{w}{m}\right)^{'}\\ &=\hspace{0.2cm}\frac{w' m - wm'}{m^2}\\ &=\hspace{0.2cm}\frac{\text{grams}\cdot \text{millimeters weeks}^{-1}}{\text{grams}^2}\\ &=\hspace{0.2cm}\frac{\text{millimeters}}{\text{grams}\cdot\text{week}} \end{align*}

It tells us how many millimeters has cord grown per each gram that owlet has gained and each week that it is older.
