Force & Volume Fundamental Units

In summary, the fundamental base units for Force and Volume are kilogram (kg), metre (m), candela (Ca), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), and mole (mol). Both force and volume have derived units, with volume's derived unit being m3 (derived from the base unit for length, m) and force's derived unit being N = m·kg·s-2 (derived from the base units m, kg, and s). It is important to note that there are no base units for force or volume and they are considered derived units.

What are the fundamental base units for Force and Volume?
I think its cm3 for volume but not completely sure.

the fundamental units are

kilogram (kg)
metre (m)
candela (Ca)
second (s)
ampere (A)
kelvin (K)
mole (mol)

So for something like speed which has the formula speed=distance/time, the unit would be m/s

So for force, write down how you'd get force and then check the units for it.

There are no base units for force or volume. The units for those are said to be derived from the base units. So, volume would have the derived unit m3, derived from the base unit for length, m. Likewise the derived unit for force is N = m·kg·s-2, derived from the base units m, kg, and s.

Related to Force & Volume Fundamental Units

1. What are force and volume fundamental units?

Force and volume are both fundamental units of measurement in physics. Force is the measurement of an object's mass multiplied by its acceleration, while volume is the measurement of the amount of space an object occupies.

2. Why are force and volume considered fundamental units?

Force and volume are considered fundamental units because they cannot be broken down into smaller units and are used to measure other physical quantities. They are also used to define other derived units, such as pressure and density.

3. What are the SI units for force and volume?

The SI (International System of Units) unit for force is the Newton (N), named after Sir Isaac Newton, and the SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m3).

4. How are force and volume measured in experiments?

Force is typically measured using a spring scale or a force sensor, while volume is measured using a graduated cylinder or a volumetric flask. Both force and volume can also be calculated using mathematical equations.

5. Can force and volume be converted into other units?

Yes, both force and volume can be converted into other units using conversion factors. For example, 1 Newton is equal to 0.2248 pounds, and 1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters.
