Also, the same basic units can be scaled up or down using metric prefixes to sizes appropriate for the problem at hand. Base units are defined by a particular process of measuring a base quantity whereas derived units are defined as algebraic combinations of base units.
A base quantity is chosen by convention and practical considerations. Derived quantities are expressed as algebraic combinations of base quantities. A base unit is a standard for expressing the measurement of a base quantity within a particular system of units. So, a measurement of a base quantity could be expressed in terms of a base unit in any system of units using the same base quantities.
For example, length is a base quantity in both SI and the English system, but the meter is a base unit in the SI system only. Uncertainty is a quantitative measure of precision. Discrepancy is a quantitative measure of accuracy. Yes, both terms have dimension L 2 T -2 b. Yes, both terms have dimension LT -1 d. Yes, both terms have dimension LT A reasonable estimate might be one operation per second for a total of 10 9 in a lifetime. The number 99 has 2 significant figures; Since each term in the power series involves the argument raised to a different power, the only way that every term in the power series can have the same dimension is if the argument is dimensionless.
