The SI units for measuring different aspects of a solid are given below.

Explanation:

If you mean what SI units can be used to measure solids, they would be the meter for length, width, and height; the kilogram for mass; Kelvins for thermodynamic temperature; and the mole for the quantity of a substance.

These SI units can be converted into other measurements using the proper conversion factors. For example, the volume of a solid is determined by multiplying length, width, and height to give cubic meters, "m"^3". The density of a solid is determined by dividing its mass by its volume, giving the unit "kg/m"^3".

There are many ways to convert measurements using conversion factors, such as "L"/"1000 mL", and "1 kg"/"1000 g".

For example, the mass of an empty "400-mL" beaker is "138.7 g". What is its mass in kilograms?

138.7 cancelcolor(red)"g"xx(1 "kg")/(1000 cancelcolor(red)"g" = "0.1387 kg"
