Derived Unit

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to bake a cake, but all you have are basic ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and milk. Combining these simple ingredients in the right way results in a delicious cake, similar to how combining base SI units creates a derived unit. Just as each ingredient contributes to the final product—a cake—each base unit contributes to the derived unit, such as using meters, kilograms, and seconds to form the unit of force, the Newton.
