Derived quantities and units – problems and solutions

1.

Based on the above table, determine the derived quantities and its international units.

Solution

Density

The equation of density is ρ = m / V

m = mass (its international unit is kilogram, abbreviated kg)

V = volume (its international unit is a cubic meter, abbreviated m³)

ρ = density (its international unit is kilogram per cubic meter, abbreviated kg/m³)

Force

The equation of force is F = m a

m = mass (its international unit is kilogram, abbreviated kg)

a = acceleration (its international unit is meters per second squared, abbreviated m/s²)

F = force (its international unit is kilogram meters per second squared, abbreviated kg m/s

²)

Velocity

The equation of velocity is v = s / t

s = distance (its international unit is meter, abbreviated m)

t = time (its international unit is second, abbreviated s)

v = velocity (its international unit is meter per second, abbreviated m/s)

Area

The equation of area is A = l x l

l = length (its international unit is meter, abbreviated m)

A = area (its international unit is meter squared, abbreviated m²)

Temperature

Temperature is base quantity. Symbol of temperature is T and its international unit is Kelvin, abbreviated K.
