Explanation:
Properties of a material which can be measured are called "physical quantities". These quantities can be measured in CGS ("centimeter gram second") and SI ( Standard / Meter kilogram second) systems.
- For physical quantity Length, its CGS unit is centimeter and SI unit is meter.
- For physical quantity Mass, its CGS unit is gram and SI unit is kilogram.
- For physical quantity time, its CGS/SI unit is second.
- Other fundamental physical quantities are Electric current (CGS unit biot, SI unit ampere) Temperature (CGS and SI unit Kelvin),
- Amount of substance (CGS and SI unit mol) and Luminous intensity (CGS unit Stilb and SI unit mol).
