Symbols for physical quantities
,Physical Quantity - is a physical property that can be
quantified by measurement.
, The symbols for physical quantities - are chosen to be a single letter of
the Latin or Greek alphabet.
Often, the symbols are modified by subscripts and superscripts, to specify what they refer to -
for instance Ek is usually used to denote kinetic energy and cp heat capacity at constant
pressure.
