Answer:

Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:

  • Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.
  • Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.
  • Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.
  • Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.
  • While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.
  • Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.
  • Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k
