2 types of unit systems widely used:
i) Metric System, SI (International System)
ii) English System / United States Customary Systems (USCS)
Difference Between SI and
English Unit
Force (F)
Force = Mass X Acceleration
∴ F = m.a (unit: kg.m.s-2)
SI unit : Newton (N), where 1 N = 1 kg.m.s-2
Eng. unit : pound-force (lbf). 1 lbf = 32.174 lbm .ft/s2.
Weight (W)
Weight is a type of force ⇒ W=mg (N)
∴Weight (W) ≠ Mass (m)
Mass of a body is constant, but its weight can change depending on gravitational
acceleration (g) that varies with the placement.
Work (W)
Work = Force x Distance
∴ 1 N.m = 1 Joule (J) ⇒ SI unit
Eng. unit: Btu (British Thermal Unit). 1 Btu = energy required to increase the
temperature of 1 lbm of water at 68oF by 1oF. 10
Other unit : calorie (cal). 1 cal = energy required to increase the temperature of 1
kg of water at 15oC by 1oC.
∴ 1 cal = 4.1868 J ; 1 Btu = 1.055 kJ
Exercise 1
1. A school is paying RM0.12/kWh for electrical power. To
reduce its power bill, the school install a solar panel with
rated power of 30 kW. If the solar panel operates 365 days
per year at similar rated power, determine the amount of
electrical power generated by the solar panel and how much
money that the school have save annually? Convert the
annual energy save in kJ (hint: 1 kJ/s = 1kW) (ans: RM7920)
2. A pool of volume V (in m3) is to be filled with water using a
hose of diameter D (in m). If the average velocity, v (in m/s)
of discharge water with the filling time period, t (in s),
obtain a relation (formula) for the volume of the pool based
on the consideration of dimensions/quantities involved.

Exercise 2
Determine the atmospheric pressure (in kPa)
at a location where the barometric reading is
740 mmHg and the gravitational acceleration
is 9.805 m/s2. Assume the temperature of
mercury to be 10 oC, which its density is
13,570 kg/m3.
(1 kPa = 1000 N/m2) (Ans: 98.5 kPa)
