Question: MKS system means...
MKS system means
Solution
The system of units is different for different countries and some of the different systems of units are the CGS system of units, the FPS system of units, the MKS system of units and the SI system of units. The SI system of units is internationally accepted and MKS is a system of units in the SI unit system. There are seven SI base units and three supplementary units.
Complete step-by-step solution:
The MKS system uses meter, kilogram and second (MKS) as the base units and the MKS system of units is a physical system of measurement. The MKS system is used in areas such as commerce and engineering. The MKS system was extended by adding kelvin and candela as the base units and thus forming the international system of units.
The MKS system of units is measured based on the metric system and meter for length, kilogram for mass and second for time. The MKS system also includes force, joule and watt. The MKS system with ampere as a fourth base unit is referred to as the MKSA system.
Some examples of named MKS mechanical units are:
Quantity | MKS equivalent |
---|---|
Frequency | s−1 |
Force | kg⋅m−1⋅s−2 |
Energy | kg⋅m2⋅s−2 |
Some examples of named MKSA electromagnetic units are:
Quantity | MKSA equivalent |
---|---|
Electric charge | s⋅A |
Voltage | kg⋅m2⋅s−3⋅A−1 |
Magnetic flux density | kg⋅s−2⋅A−1 |
Metric system, the imperial system, and United States customary units are used in the modern system of measurement.
Note: Students the supplementary SI units are radian, steradian and Becquerel and base SI units are meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, ampere, candela and mole. All other SI units are derived from these base units and the system of measurement is a collection of units of measurement. Each unit will have a universally recognized size.
