Lecture 1

The document discusses units and dimensions. It covers fundamental and derived units, common unit systems like MKS, CGS, and FPS. It also discusses determining composite units and the relationship between base units. The document contains examples of physics problems involving units and converting between different units of measurement for quantities like length, velocity, force, thickness, and others. It also defines physical quantities like pressure, inductance, and permeability and their relationships to other units dimensionally.
