What is the official name of the metric system?
The metric system is called the International System of units. In Europe, the French oversee the system, and the name is Le Système international d'unités (SI).So It can be called the metric system, the IS system, or the SI system.
What system of measurement does science use?
The Metric system ex: centermeters, milliliters , and grams
What are the some advantages of the mks and cgs over the fps system?
1. The MKS system - and more specifically the SI is an international standard. It helps when everybody uses the same units. 2. SI uses prefixes for larger and smaller units, based on powers of 10. This makes conversion very simple. For example, to convert kilometers to meters, just multiply by 1000. With just a little practice, this can be done in your head, without pencil and paper.
The difference between the Metric System and SI?
There is no difference they are the same thingAnswerSI is the current version of the metric system.For example, the centimetre, the calorie, and the litre are examples of metric units, but they are not SI units.
What are the systems of measurements that carry standard unitts?
Presumably you mean SI (Systeme Internationale), or MKS (metres, kilogramme, second)
What are 3 system of measurement?
They are Imperial, Metric, and SI._______________________________________________They are the:fps (foot-pound-second systemcgs (centimeter-gram- second system)mks (meter-kilogram-second system)The SI system is based mainly on the mks measurement system.

Why are CGS and MKS system most common in daily use?
CGS is NOT common nowadays. MKS is common because the SI, the international system of units, is based on it.
What is the Relation between si unit and amp cgs unit?
The relevant SI bases are MKS.Length: cgs system uses centimetre, MKS uses metre = 100 centimetres. Mass: cgs system uses grams, MKS uses kilogram = 1000 grams. Time: they both use seconds.
Why cgs and mks is widely used?
CGS is NOT widely used. It was in the past. The only system of measurement that is widely used today is the SI, which is a variety of MKS.
Is measuring mass?
grams in the CGS measurement system, Kilograms in the Si and MKS system, or pounds in the FPS measurement system.
Why is the SI system easy to use?
SI system is a rationalised MKS system.The earlier MKS system provided different units for different physical quantities, which was not at all convinient to use. But, the MKS system provides single unit for different physical quantities,which makes it convinient. The CGS system could not find solutions to physical quantities not involving LENGTH,TIME and MASS. Hence, it could not be used. The FPS system or BUS system was not a metric system and hence was not useful.
What is the unit of stress in MKS system?
Stress has the same dimensions as pressure: force per unit area. In the SI, therefore (or in other MKS systems), the units would be newtons / meter2.
What is the difference between SI units and the customary system?
The difference is the tranguillary measurements of the two said units
What is the system of measuring that most scientists use around the world?
cgs (centimetre,gram,seconds) or SI system i.e mks (metre, kilogram,seconds)
What is the unit of temperature in MKS?
The unit of temperature in MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system is the Kelvin (K).
Unit of work is?
(MKS)or(SI)- joule CGS- erg
