Chapter 1, Problem 1.55ASP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The $SI$ units should be explained given the measurements of mass, volume, length and temperature.

Concept Introduction:

Physical quantity: It can quantified that is can be measured using numbers, for example physical quantities are mass, amount of substance, length, time, temperature, electric current, light intensity, force, velocity, density and others.

Measurements: There are seven base unites in the $SI$ system, kilogram ($(kg)$ for mass, second $\left(s\right)$ for time, kelvin $\left(K\right)$ for temperature, ampere $\left(A\right)$ for electric current, mole $\left(mol\right)$ amount of the substance, candle $\left(cd\right)$ for luminous intensity and meter $\left(m\right)$ for distance.
