(b)
Whether the unit for density is base unit or derived unit.
(b)
Answer to Problem 65A
Derived unit
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
SI system has seven base units which further help to define 22 derived units. The SI unit of mass, time, length,
SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg). SI unit of length is meter (m). Unit of volume can be derived from the base unit meter. Unit of volume is cubic meter
The metric unit of density is:
Conclusion:
Thus, it can be concluded that the metric unit of density is a derived unit.
