    1 kg = ⁠ (299 792 458) 2 / (6.626 070 15 × 10 −34)(9 192 631 770) ⁠ ⁠ h Δν Cs / c 2 ⁠. All units in the SI can be expressed in terms of the base units, and the base units serve as a preferred set for expressing or analysing the relationships between units.

  3. 2019 revision of the SI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_revision_of_the_SI

    2019 definition: The kelvin, symbol K, is the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to be 1.380 649 × 10 −23 when expressed in the unit J⋅K −1, which is equal to kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2 ⋅K −1, where the kilogram, metre and second are defined in terms of h, c and ...

  4. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) approved a revision in November 2018 that defines the kilogram by defining the Planck constant to be exactly 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −1, effectively defining the kilogram in terms of the second and the metre. The new definition took effect on 20 May 2019. [6] [7] [29]

    Gy = J/kg = ⁠ kg m 2 /s 2 / kg ⁠ = m 2 /s 2; S = 1/Ω = ⁠ 10 −7 s / k A m ⁠ H = Ω s = 10 7 k A m; Because the magnitude of many of the units composing the SI system of measurement was until 2019 defined by its mass, the quality of the IPK was diligently protected to preserve the integrity of the SI system.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    The litre (Commonwealth spelling) or liter (American spelling) (SI symbols L and l, [1] other symbol used: ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm 3 ), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm 3 ) or 0.001 cubic metres (m 3 ).

    Water bottles for personal use can have their capacity measured in fluid ounces or liters. For ounces, the measurements are typically in multiples of 8, for example 32 fl oz and 40 fl oz, which correspond closely to common metric variants including 1 liter and 1.2 liters. Rainfall is usually measured based on the height from the ground in ...

    The SI system after the 2019 revision: the kilogram is now fixed in terms of the second, the metre and the Planck constant. The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) approved a redefinition of the SI base units in November 2018 that defines the kilogram by defining the Planck constant to be exactly 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 kg ...

  9. Watt-hour per kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt-hour_per_kilogram

    The watt, kilogram, joule, and the second are part of the International System of Units (SI). The hour is not, though it is accepted for use with the SI.Since a watt equals one joule per second and because one hour equals 3600 seconds, one watt-hour per kilogram can be expressed in SI units as 3600 joules per kilogram.
