text: In their first report (1862) they laid the ground rules for their work – the metric system was to be used, measures of electrical energy must have the same units as measures of mechanical energy and two sets of electromagnetic units would have to be derived – an electromagnetic system and an electrostatic system.
text: All other units (such as speed, force, power and many more) are "derived units" that are defined using these seven base units.
text: In the middle of the 19th century, James Clerk Maxwell put forward the concept of a coherent system where a small number of units of measure were defined as base units, and all other units of measure, called derived units, were defined in terms of the base units.
text: All other units of measure could be derived (hence derived units) from these base units.
text: After several months’ study, the academy recommended that the length of the meridian passing through Paris be determined from the North Pole to the Equator, that 1/10,000,000 of this distance be termed the metre and form the basis of a new decimal linear system, and, further, that a new unit of weight should be derived from the weight of a cubic metre of water.
text: Other units were derived from the length of the foot of some ruler and often changed along with succession.
text: All other units of measure could be derived (hence derived units) from these base units.
text: When later analyzed and scientifically, some quantities were designated as base units, meaning all other needed units of measure could be derived from them.
text: All other units are derived from the base ones.
text: Often secondary units (multiples and submultiples) are derived from the basic units by multiplying by powers of ten, i.e. by simply moving the decimal point.
text: The other units of length and mass, and all units of area, volume, and derived units such as density were derived from these two base units.
text: Besides the meter, the metric system defines only six other units, and all other units are derived from these.
text: The metric system has 22 named units which are derived from the seven fundamental ones.
text: Using the positive as well as negative powers of ten, the larger and smaller units are derived from the basic ones.
text: An interesting part about the prefixes and abbreviations is that the units are derived from Latin and Greek.
text: The SI base units are the building blocks of the system and all the other units are derived from them.
text: Almost all other units can be derived from the basic seven.
text: The system is built on a foundation of seven basic units, and all other units are derived from them.
text: Often secondary units (multiples and submultiples) are derived from the basic units by multiplying by powers of ten, i.e. by simply moving the decimal point.
text: The other units of length and mass, and all units of area, volume, and derived units such as density were derived from these two base units.
text: All other units of measure could be derived (hence derived units) from these base units.
text: All other units of measure could be derived (hence derived units) from these base units.
text: The system allows for an unlimited number of additional units, called derived units, which can always be represented as products of powers of the base units.[Note 1] Twenty-two derived units have been provided with special names and symbols.[Note 2]
text: The system allows for an unlimited number of additional units, called derived units, which can always be represented as products of powers of the base units, possibly with a nontrivial numeric multiplier.
