The basic laws of physics involve such physical quantities as force, velocity, volume, and acceleration, all of which can be described in terms of more fundamental quantities. In mechanics, the three most fundamental quantities are length (L), mass (M), and time (T); all other physical quantities can be constructed from these. Standards of Length, Mass, and Time A certain physical quantity or a unit SI = Syst?me International
