Derived Quantities and Derived Units
Derived quantities:
The physical quantities other than fundamental quantities which depend on one or more fundamental quantities for their measurements are called derived quantities.
Examples of derived quantities:
force, pressure, density, speed, volume, etc.
Derived units:
The units of derived quantities which depend on fundamental units for their measurements are called derived units.
Examples of derived units:
newton, kg/m3, m/s, etc.
