Name the three systems of unit and state the various fundamental units in them.
Answer
The three systems of unit and the corresponding fundamental units are as follows —
| System of Units | Fundamental Units |
|---|---|
| C.G.S. system (or French system) | Unit of Length - centimeter (cm) Unit of Mass - gram(g) Unit of Time - second(s) |
| F.P.S. system (or British system) | Unit of Length - Foot(ft) Unit of Mass - Pound(lb) Unit of Time - Second(s) |
| M.K.S. system (or metric system) | Unit of Length - Metre(m) Unit of Mass - Kilogramme(kg) Unit of Time -Second(s) |
