The MKS system of units is a physical system of measurement based on the [[Meter|meter]] as the unit of length, the kilogram as the unit of mass, and the [[Second (metric)|second]] as the unit of time. Smaller scale measurements may utilize the CGS system, based on the [[Meter|centimeter]] as the unit of length, the [[Gram (metric)|gram]] as the unit of mass, and the [[Second (metric)|second]] as the unit of time. The system has broad applications within [[science]], engineering and commerce. | The MKS system of units is a physical system of measurement based on the [[Meter|meter]] as the unit of length, the kilogram as the unit of mass, and the [[Second (metric)|second]] as the unit of time.
