(a)
Interpretation:
The physical quantity corresponding to
Concept introduction:
Metric system is a measurement system which has units of meter, liter, and gram as the units for measuring length, volume and mass. Several countries have resisted adoption of the metric system as a universal system of measurement. In science, measurements are regularly recorded in metric units. SI system is an extension of the metric system and has seven base units.
