SI Basic units

The first definition of the basic units of the SI was approved in the year 1889 and the last
was in 1983. The definition of each basic unit has been drafted carefully, because that
definition must be unique and provide a basis Theoretical precise.
The seven basic magnitudes that are the length, mass, time, intensity of electrical
current, thermodynamic temperature, quantity of substance and luminous intensity,
are considered independent magnitudes. However, the basic units (meter, kilogram,
second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela) are dependent. Hence, in the definition of the
meter the second is included, in the definition of the ampere three basic units are included:
meter, kilogram and second, and thus in the other basic units that depend on them in their
definitions.
The unit of length, the meter (m) is the path length traversed in the vacuum by light for
a time of 1/299792458 of a second (International Bureau of Weights and Measures, 2006).
This definition was adopted in the year of 1983 by the 17th CGPM (The General
Conference on Weights and Measures).
The unit of mass, kilogram (kg) is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the
kilogram (International Bureau of Weights and Measures, 2006), in such a way that the
mass of the kilogram is exactly equal to one kilogram.
The unit of time, the second (s) first was defined as 1/86400 of the solar day. However,
a precise concept was defined: The second is the duration of 9192631770 periods of
radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground
state of the cesium atom 133 (International Bureau of Weights and Measures, 2006).
The unit of electric current intensity, the ampere (A) is the intensity of a constant current
that, being maintained in two parallel conductors, rectilinear, of infinite length, of
negligible circular section and located at a distance of 1 meter from each other, in a
vacuum, it would produce between these drivers a force equal to 2x10-7 newton per meter
in length (International Bureau of Weights and Measures, 2006). It is illustrated that the
magnetic constant is 4πx10-7H / m.
On the other hand, we have the unit of temperature, kelvin (K) which is the fraction 1 /
273,16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water. Given this, the
thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water is 273.16 K (International Bureau
of Weights and Measures, 2006).
The unit of substance, mol (mol) is the amount of substance in a system that contains as
many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of carbon 12 (International
Bureau of Weights and Measures, 2006). Therefore, this unit allows to determine the
constant number of the amount of substance in any chemical sample.
The unit of light intensity, candela (cd) is based on a unit that measures the luminous
intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits a monochromatic radiation of
frequency 540x1012 hertz and whose energy intensity in this direction of 1/683 watt by
stereorradian (International Office of Weights and Measures, 2006).

SI-derived units

The derived SI units are punctuated from the basic units in a unique and coherent way.
Therefore, to the derived units expressed in function of basic units that practically are
formed by products of powers of the basic units, some examples are illustrated in the
following table:

On the other hand, there are units that have special symbols and names. In total there are
22 and they express a combination in the basic units.
