There are seven:
- metre: length
- kilogram: mass
- second: time
- ampere: electric current
- kelvin: temperature
- candela: light intensity
- mole: amount of a substance
Please see the wikipedia article for more information about them.

What is the relationship between SI and CGS units of force?
SI is the Systeme Internalionale of measurement in which the Metre, kilogram and Second are some primary units. An older system based on metric units used centimetre, gram, and second as the primary units. Obviously these may be converted into SI units, but the CGS system is no longer used. [Some of the definitions of the fundamental units differ between these systems.]
What are the fundamental and derived units?
In a system of units such as the SI, BASE UNITS are defined; other units are derived from those.For example, in the SI, the meter, the kilogram, and the second are base units; the units for area (meters squared), for speed and velocity (meters/second), etc. are derived from the base units. Which units are base units, and which units are derived units, really depends on how the unit is defined. For example, in the SI, pressure is a derived unit; but you can just as well invent a system in which pressure is a base unit, and some other units, that are base units in the SI, are derived in this new system.
Mention differences between fundamental and derived units?
The fundamental units are based on specific standards for each unit. Derived units result from manipulating the fundamental units. For example, the SI unit for distance or length is the meter, and the SI unit for time is the second. If you divide meters by seconds, you get m/s, a derived unit for speed or velocity.
What is the fundamental quantities in units?
The 7 Fundamental Quantities are: length, time, mass, electric current, temperature, substance and amount of light. SI units: metre, second, kilogram, ampere, kelvin, mole, candel. Symbols of units: m, s, kg, A, K, mol, cd. Comment SI doesn't use the term, 'fundamental'. Those units listed above are termed 'base' units.
Why are there 7 fundamental physical quantities and not more?
If you look at the definitions of the SI units, and especially the derived units, you'll see that all the derived units are derived from other units. It might actually be possible to have even less base units, but that would make the system of units unnecessarily confusing.
What are supplementary units of SI system?
the units that has not been assigned either to the fundamental units or to derived units.
The fundamental unit used to measure mass is?
Newton in SI units
What are fundamental quantity?
The fundamental units are those of the SI system - The unit of Temperature, Kelvin; of Time, the second; of Mass, Kilogram; of brightness, the Candela; of physical quantity, the Mole; and of electrical current, the Ampere. With these units, all fundamental quantities may be described.Comment SI doesn't use the term, 'fundamental'. Those units listed above are termed 'base' units.

IS VOLUME IS A FUNDAMENTAL QUANTITY?
Volume is a fundamental quality because of volume per mass. Other familiar fundamental qualities include mass, velocity, speed, m3, cubic meter, and density.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'fundamental unit' in SI. Units are either 'base units' or 'derived units'. In SI, volume is measured in cubic metres, where the metre is the base unit of length.

Does SI unit represents force per unit area?
The force per unit area in SI units is Newton per meter squared (N/m^2). These units are the fundamental SI units. However, this can be simplified to Pascals.
Is time a ratio?
No, time is a fundamental unit in the SI system (and also the Imperial system) of units..
What are the Units accepted according to the international system are called?
The three fundamental measurements are length, mass, and time. The fundamental Standard International units, therefore, are meters, kilograms, and seconds. These are also known as SI base units.
What is the7 basic fundamental quantities in science?
Perhaps you refer to the seven basic SI units? The number and choice of base units depends on the system used. In the case of SI, you can find the base units here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit
