A derived unit is a unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) that is derived from one or more of the seven base units.
Examples of derived units:
- Velocity (m/s)
- Density kg/m3
- Force (Newton)
- Pressure (Pascal)
- Energy (Joule)
- Power (Watt)
We can derive other units from the independent units. The independent units are called Fundamental Units (or Base Units).
Examples of fundamental units are Mass in kilogram (kg); Electric Current, ampere (A); Temperature, kelvin (K); Amount of Substance, mole (Mol).
