ENDIXES ie A intemational System of Units (SI Units) a INTRODUCTION The International System of Units (abbreviated SI in all languages) was adopted at the :960 meeting of the International General Conference of ‘Weights and Measures. As of 1976 all the industrial nations of the world, with the exception of the United States, had adopted the SI system of units. Therefore, scientists, engineers, educators, technicians, and the like, in the United States can be ly certain that they will be involved in the use of the SI metric units in the not too distant future. Although the United States had not officially adopted the SI system of units at the time that this book went to press, some U.S. industries have for the past several years been in the process of moving toward the use of the SI system. It should be emphasized that the SI system is not the CGS system (centimeter-gram-second) commonly-used by physicists nor the MKS gravitational system (meters-kilogram-second) in which mass is a derived unit. Physical quantities in any system of units must be consistent with Newton’s second law (force = mass x acceleration). The SI system is an absolute system in which the kilogram (kg) is selected as the basic unit of mass and the derived unit of force is the newton, such that "newton = (1 £g)(1 m/s?) “ ia. A-I, the unit of length is the meter m, and s is the approved SI dtsignation of time in seconds, For a freely falling body in a vacuum, the “tleration of gravity g at the surface of the earth is 9.81 m/s? an 637 | a : el ‘Scanned with CamSeanner 638 / INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNITS (SI UNITS) A2/ Newton's second law (F = Ma) gives F=W=Mg (A-2) where W is the weight of the body. Thus a 1-kg mass weighs 9.81 newtons at the surface of the earth since W = (1 kg)(9.81 m/s?) (A-3) . NOMENCLATURE OF SI UNITS AND QUANTITIES In the following table'the basic units are length, mass, time, temperature, and current.
