The International System of Units (SI) is the modern - form of the metric system. It has seven base units: the meter (m) for length, the kilogram (kg) for mass, the second (s) for time, the ampere (A) for electric current, the kelvin (K) for thermodynamic temperature, the mole (mol) for amount of substance, and the candela (cd) for luminous intensity.
Step1: Define sine
$\sin\theta=\frac{A}{C}$
Step2: Define cosine
$\cos\theta=\frac{B}{C}$
Step3: Define tangent
$\tan\theta=\frac{A}{B}$
Step4: Define cosecant
$\csc\theta=\frac{C}{A}$
Step5: Define secant
$\sec\theta=\frac{C}{B}$
Step6: Define cotangent
$\cot\theta=\frac{B}{A}$
Step1: Force
Force $F = ma$ (Newton's second law), where $m$ is mass and $a$ is acceleration. Acceleration $a=\frac{\text{change in velocity}}{\text{time}}$, so its dimensions are $[L][T]^{- 2}$. Mass has dimension $[M]$. Then the dimension of force is $[M][L][T]^{-2}$ and its SI unit is the newton (N), where $1\ N = 1\ kg\cdot m/s^{2}$.
Step2: Area
Area of a two - dimensional shape. Its dimension is $[L]^{2}$ and its SI unit is the square meter ($m^{2}$).
Step3: Velocity
Velocity $v=\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{time}}$, so its dimension is $[L][T]^{-1}$ and its SI unit is the meter per second ($m/s$).
Step4: Volume
Volume of a three - dimensional object. Its dimension is $[L]^{3}$ and its SI unit is the cubic meter ($m^{3}$).
Step5: Acceleration
Acceleration $a=\frac{\text{change in velocity}}{\text{time}}$, so its dimension is $[L][T]^{-2}$ and its SI unit is the meter per second squared ($m/s^{2}$).
Step6: Density
Density $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume. So its dimension is $[M][L]^{-3}$ and its SI unit is the kilogram per cubic meter ($kg/m^{3}$).
