Dimensions and Units
Dimensions: Any physical quantity can be characterized by dimensions.
Units: The magnitude assigned to dimensions are called units
Primary/Fundamental Dimensions: Basic dimensions
Secondary/Derived Dimensions: The Dimensions which can be expressed in terms
of primary dimensions.

System
• A system is defined as a quantity
of matter or a region in space
chosen for study.
System
17
Closed System
• A closed system consists of a
fixed amount of mass, and no
mass can cross boundary but the
energy can cross it.
18
Open System
• An open system, is a selected
region in space with the ability of
having a variable mass.
