    Uploaded by

    Hazem Sobhi
    The document defines the International System of Units (SI) base units for common physical quantities like length, mass, and time. It also defines some derived SI units that are combinations of base units, like velocity which is meters per second. Finally, it provides the expressions of various other derived units in terms of the base SI units for quantities such as force, pressure, energy, power, charge, and others.
