Questions and Answers

What is the SI unit for length, and what is its symbol?

The SI unit for length is the meter, symbolized as 'm'.

Identify two derived units and the base units from which they are composed.

Two derived units are 'Newton' (N), which is composed of kg·m/s², and 'Joule' (J), which is composed of kg·m²/s².

List all seven base units of the SI system along with their symbols.

The seven base units are: Length (m), Time (s), Mass (kg), Electric current (A), Thermodynamic temperature (K), Luminous intensity (cd), and Amount of substance (mol).
