    The document discusses different systems of units used for measurement including MKS, CGS, and FPS. It notes that in 1960, MKS was adopted as the International System of Units (SI). The SI system has 7 base units - the meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, ampere, candela, and mole to measure length, mass, time, temperature, current, luminous intensity, and amount of substance respectively. It also lists two supplementary units - the radian for plane angle and steradian for solid angle.

    System of units

    a)MKS

    b) CGS

    c) FPS

    In 1960 MKS is considered as SI System

    In SI system there are 7 basic physical quantities and there units.

    1) Length - metre
    2) Mass – kilogram
    3) Time – second
    4) Temperature – kelvin
    5) Current electricity- ampere
    6) Luminous intensity- candela
    7) Amount of substance- mole

    There are to supplementary quantities.

    1) Plane angle – radian


    2) Solid angle – steradian.
