Types of physical quantities
The physical quantities which do not depend upon other quantities are called fundamental quantities. In the M.K.S. system the fundamental quantities are mass, length, and time.In a standard International (S.I.) system the Fundamental quantities are mass, length, time, temperature, illuminating power (or luminous intensity), current, and amount of substance.
