Explanation

• Sand is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂).
• It is a chemical compound made of silicon and oxygen atoms in a 1:2 ratio.
• SiO₂ is found in quartz, glass, and sand naturally.
• It is hard, chemically stable, and insoluble in water.

Explanation

• Pressure can be defined as the force acting per unit area.
•  Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure.
• In SI base units kg⋅m−1⋅s−2
• Derivations from other quantities: p = F / A
• Dimension unit: M L^−1 T^-2

Additional information 

The SI unit of energy/work is the joule (J)

Explanation

Electric power: Rate of energy transfer.

It is measured in watts (W), or one joule per second.

Energy/Work: Measured in joules (J).

Charge: Measured in coulombs (C).

Pressure: Measured in pascals (Pa).

Electric current: Measured in amperes (A).

Electric resistance: Measured in ohms (Ω).

Temperature: Measured in kelvin (K).

Torque: Measured in newton metres (N m).

Velocity: Measured in meters per second (m/s).

Acceleration: Measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Explanation

SI (International System of Units) fundamental units include meter (length), kilogram (mass), and second (time).

All other units like Newton, Joule, etc., are derived from these base units.
