Compare the MKS, CGS & FPS system of units. which system of units are convenient to use? Justify your answer.

The system of unit which is most convenient for use is the MKS unit.

Explanation:

System of units is defined as the complete set of units which comprises of both the fundamental units and the derived units. The mass, length and time are considered to be the fundamental quantities and their units are called the fundamental units. The systems of unit which are in common use can be compared through their description below:

--> MKS system of unit: In this system of unit, the unit of length is in meter (m). The unit if mass is in kilogram (k). The unit of time is in seconds (s). Hence the name m.k.s system of unit.

--> CGS system of unit: In this system of unit, the unit of length is in centimeter (cm). The unit if mass is in grams (g). The unit of time is in seconds (s). Hence the name c.g.s. system of unit.

--> FPS system of unit: In this system of unit, the unit of length is in foot (Ft). The unit if mass is in pound (Lb). The unit of time is in seconds (s). Hence the name m.k.s system of unit.

The system of unit which is most CONVENIENT for use is the MKS unit. This is because of the introduction of the international system of units (S.I unit). This unit was endorsed by the International Standard Organisation (ISO) to form a logical and interconnected framework for all measurements in science and technology. The MKS system of unit was made the SI units enabling physical quantities to be represented by only one unit.
