    Some further examples of quantities are: 1.76 litres ( liters ) of milk, a continuous quantity 2 πr metres, where r is the length of a radius of a circle expressed in metres (or meters), also a continuous quantity

  3. List of physical quantities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_quantities

    Derived quantities can be expressed in terms of the base quantities. Note that neither the names nor the symbols used for the physical quantities are international standards. Some quantities are known as several different names such as the magnetic B-field which is known as the magnetic flux density , the magnetic induction or simply as the ...

  9. Dimensionless quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity

    Dimensionless quantities can be obtained as ratios of quantities that are not dimensionless, but whose dimensions cancel out in the mathematical operation. [19] [20] Examples of quotients of dimension one include calculating slopes or some unit conversion factors.
