    45.2.4 Derived units 42.2.

    5 Decimal multiples and submultiples


    All physical quantities have units derived from the base and Decimal multiples and submultiples of SI units are indicated by
    supplementary SI units, and some of them have been given the prefix letters given in Table 45.2. Thus, MN is meganewton
    names for convenience in use. Base, supplementary and some of and us is microsecond. Prefixes for the kilogram are expressed in
    the derived units are listed in Table 45.1. terms of the gram, i.e. 1000kg= 1 Mg, not 1 kkg. There is a
    preference to express stress as 1 N/mm2 instead of 1 MN/mm2.
