Note that on an assesment, you are expected to derive the SI unit expression given the equation of unit. Note that on an assesment, you are expected to derive the SI unit expression given the equation of unit.
For example Force = mass x acceleration = mass x distance / time / time = $kg \times m \times s^{-2}$. For example Force = mass x acceleration = mass x distance / time / time = $kg \times m \times s^{-2}$.

Physical Quantity: must always be expressed as the product of **magnitude**(number) and a **unit**.
Example: $10m$ (10 meters).
