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"#
