matlab中unit指令,Define unit system

Base units must be independent in terms of the dimensions mass, time, length, electric

current, luminous intensity, amount of substance, and

temperature. Therefore, a unit system has up to 7 base units. As

long as the independence is satisfied, any unit can be a base

unit, including units such as newton or watt.

A unit system can have less than 7 base units. For example, mechanical systems need base units

only for the dimensions length, mass, and time.

Derived units in a unit system must have a representation in terms of the products of powers of the base units for that system. Unlike base units, derived units do not have to be independent.

Derived units are optional and added for convenience of

representation. For example, kg m/s2

is abbreviated by newton.

An example of a unit system is the SI unit system, which has 7 base units: kilogram, second,

meter, ampere, candela, mol, and kelvin. There are 22 derived

units found by calling

derivedUnits('SI').
