Question

What is the basic difference between SI system of units and MKS system of units?

Answer 1

SI system of units	MKS system of units
1. The SI system of units uses the basic quantities, i.e., meters, kilograms, and seconds.	1. The MKS system of units also uses the same basic quantities, i.e., meters, kilograms, and seconds.
2. The SI unit system is accepted as the standard system of units worldwide.	2. The MKS system of units is not the standard system of units.
3. In this system, there is a provision for assigning special names to the units of derived quantities.	3. In this system, the units of derived quantities cannot be assigned any special names
4. For example, the SI unit of force is Newton $\left(N\right)$ which is equal to $kgm{s}^{-2}$.	4. For example, the MKS unit of force is $kgm{s}^{-2}$. It cannot be given any other name.
