    This document discusses measurement and uncertainties in physics. It begins by defining fundamental and derived units, such as joules, watts, volts, coulombs, farads, ohms, teslas, and more in terms of their base SI units. It then asks the reader to write out each of these units in their fundamental definitions. Finally, it asks what the unit of amount of substance is.
