![]() This is at least in part due to the inconsistencies and lack of coherence that can arise through use of centimeter-gram-second systems, such as those between the systems of electrostatic and electromagnetic units. ![]() SI is a system based on the meter-kilogram-second system of units rather than a centimeter-gram-second system. Unlike the other SI base units, the kilogram is the only SI base unit with an SI prefix. History/origin: The name kilogram was derived from the French "kilogramme," which in turn came from adding Greek terminology meaning "a thousand," before the Late Latin term "gramma" meaning "a small weight." The changes were intended to improve the definitions of SI base units, not to actually change how the units are used throughout the world. Even though the definition of the kilogram was changed in 2019, the actual size of the unit remained the same. The meter and the second are defined in terms of c, the speed of light, and cesium frequency, Δ νCs. It is currently defined based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, h, which is equal to 6.62607015 × 10 -34 in the units of J ![]() Definition: A kilogram (symbol: kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). ![]()
