`derivedUnits`

Derived units of a system of units.

Category: Symbolic Computations in MATLAB > Units of Measurement

Syntax

d = derivedUnits(system)

Returns the named derived units of the system.

Description

Derived units have their own names but are defined by products of base units: N is kg*m/s^2, J is N*m and Pa is N/m^2. The SI list includes F, C, S, H, V, J, N, W, Pa, Hz and others. Use rewrite to expand one of them.

Input arguments

system: Name of a unit system, such as 'SI'.

Output arguments

d: Row vector of derived units.

Example

Derived units of the SI

derivedUnits('SI')

Output

ans = 
[[F], [C], [S], [H], [V], [J], [N], [lx], [lm], [Wb], [W], [Pa], [Ohm], [T], [Gy], [Bq], [Sv], [Hz], [kat], [rad], [sr], [Celsius]]

Notes

In MatLivre only 'SI' can be queried.
