What is the formula for the SI unit?

The International System of Units (SI) does not have a single all-encompassing formula. Instead, it defines a set of base units from which all other SI units are derived.

There are seven SI base units, each with a specific symbol and physical quantity:

  • Meter (m): unit of length
  • Kilogram (kg): unit of mass
  • Second (s): unit of time
  • Ampere (A): unit of electric current
  • Kelvin (K): unit of thermodynamic temperature
  • Mole (mol): unit of amount of substance
  • Candela (cd): unit of luminous intensity

Derived units are formed by combining these base units through multiplication or division. For example, the unit for speed is meters per second (m/s), derived from the base units of length (meter) and time (second). The formulas used to derive SI units are based on the physical relationships between the quantities they represent.
