1-3 The international system of units Length meter (m) centimeter (cm) foot (ft) Mass kilogram (kg) gram (g) slug (sl) Time second (s) second (s) second (s) System S.I CGS British Table 1-2 Units of Measurement Table 1-1 shows the units for the three base quantities. Derived quantities are defined in terms of these base units (speed, force, energy,).
