    The document discusses units of measurement. It notes that the metre is defined as the length light travels in 1/299792458 of a second. It then lists the SI base units of mass (kg), time (s), and length (m) as well as some derived units including newtons (N) for force, joules (J) for energy, and amps (A) for electric current. It provides some examples of values in newtons and joules.
