These units, as a rule, are related to one another and form systems; as, for example, the British system and the C'. G. S. System. Fundamental Units. The arbitrarily chosen units of a system are called fundamental in distinction to the related units depending on them, 'which are called derived units. The C. G. S. System, univer sally used in electrical measurements, takes its name from three Of its fundamental units - the centimeter, the gram, and the second of mean solar time. Besides the three units from which it takes its name, the C. G. S. System includes other fundamental units; for example, the degree centigrade, the calorie, and the unit magnetic pole. Whenever the arbitrary choice Of a property Of a substance enters into the choice of a unit, the unit itself becomes fundamental. Thus' the calorie depends on the thermal capacity of water; the unit magnetic pole depends on the magnetic property of air, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
