Physical Quantities and SI Units Table

The document lists common physical quantities like length, mass, time, area, volume, density, force, frequency, speed, acceleration, momentum, liquid volume, work, energy, and pressure. It provides the standard International System of Units (SI) symbol for each quantity, the standard SI unit of measurement, and the dimensional formula showing the fundamental units used. For example, length is measured in meters (m) and has the dimensions of length, while density is measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3) with the dimensions of mass/volume.
