The SI base unit for mass is the?

Answer 1

Kilogram least it is in the textbooks I use however it gets down to grams in some problems but I think as long as you remember to think metric you'll do just fine.
Like some problems give you all the information of the question at hand in some multiple of grams as in kilogram but others give you very small amounts some times such as milligram or even gram.
A gram is small by most standards and for a formal solution you should reread the question several times to make sure you have your mass units in an appropriate scale.

Yeah kilogram is the SI unit for mass but be selective when you answer and remember you probably weigh about 70 kilograms and the pills your Doctor gave you last were about 15 milligrams.

Answer 2

The SI unit for mass is kilograms (kg). Volumes of liquids are measured in milliliters (ml). Units are always written as though they were singular. For example: 2 ml -----> Correct 2 mls -----> WRONG Do note that ml is not an SI unit, but a unit of volume 1000ml = 1 litre The SI Unit for volume, solid, liquid or gas, is the cubic meter or m3.
