A derived unit is obtained from a combination of fundamental units. For example, a fundamental unit is a centimeter(cm). A derived unit is a cubic centimeter(cm3), or a cube that is a centimeter on each side. Derived units are used for measuring liquids. A liter is also a derived unit. s-1 is a derived unit too, even though it only consists of one fundamental unit.
