 Units
13

Mechanics deals with four fundamental quantities – length, mass, force, and time.
SI Units US Customary Units

 The International system of  U.S. Customary units (or foot-

units, abbreviated as SI (from pound-second (FPS) units):
the French, Systèm  Mass : slugs ( No symbol)

International d’ Unités)  Length: foot (symbol ft)

 Mass : kilogram (symbol kg)  Time: second (symbol sec)

 Length: meter (symbol m)  Force: pound ( symbol lb)

 Time: second (symbol s)  Other units of force in the U.S.

 Force: Newton ( symbol N) system which are in frequent
use, are the kilopound (= 1000
lb), and the ton (= 2000 lb)
