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, $\text{m"^3}$. The density of a solid is determined by dividing its mass by its volume, giving the unit $\text{kg/m"^3}$.

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

For example, the mass of an empty $\text{400-mL}$ beaker is $\text{138.7 g}$. What is its mass in kilograms?

$138.7 \cancel{\textcolor{red}{\text{g"xx(1 "kg")/(1000 cancelcolor(red)"g}}}$$=$ $\text{0.1387 kg}$
