Length
Length measures distance between two points.
L  
Mass
Mass of an object measures the amount of matter in the object.
M  
Volume
Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object
L 3  
Temperature
     
Pressure
Pressure is defined as force per unit area
M L -1 T -2  
Force
Force is a phenomenon or action that causes a body of mass M to accelerate. Force can be defined as rate of change of momentum
MLT-2  
Power
It is amount of work done per unit time. It is scalar quantity
M L 2 T -3  
Momentum
Momentum of an object is product of its mass and velocity. It is vector quantity
M L T -1 List of Units
Capacitance
A capacitor is used for storing charge and energy. Capacitance is a measure of the amount of electric charge stored for a given electric potential.
T 2 Q 2 M -1 L -2 List of Units
Gravity
Gravity is universal force in nature. It is a force of attraction between any two matters.
List of Units
Magnetic field
Magnetic field is a vector field in a space that exert force on a moving electic charge. Init of magnetic field strength is Tesla. One Tesla is a strength measured as force (Newton) on a wire of unit length (meter) with unit electric current(Ampere). Nm-1A-1

Capillary Action
Capillary action happens when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules.
 
Surface Tension
The cohesive forces between liquid molecules cause the phenomenon known as surface tension. It is the attractive property of the surface of a liquid.
