Read the following email of proposal where a manager in a bank's call centre (Peter) is asking his manager (Sally) to approve a proposal to enroll his staff on a three day sales training course. From the context, try to guess what the meaning of the words/phrases in bold are.
It spun out of control because part of the software assumed Imperial units and another part assumed metric units. The units by which we now measure physical quantities is called the S.I. (System International) system established in 1960. Within this system, the most commonly used set of units in physics are M.K.S (Metres, Kilograms, Seconds) system. The basic units are shown in Table.
SI Unit. The SI unit for work is the same as the unit for energy, the joule. The joule is known as a derived unit, meaning it is formed from a mathematical operation on other base metric units.Specifically, the joule is defined as a force of one newton moving through a distance of one meter, or a Newton-meter (N-m).he units science uses to measure work are the same as the units used to measure the energy required to do the work. In the SI system of measurement, more commonly known as the metric system, there is a specific unit allocated to both work and energy.
