Use of Metre Scale

Science > Physics > Units and Measurement > Measurement of Length, Area, and Volume > Use of Metre Scale Physics is a science of measurement. In science and engineering, we perform experiments. During experiments, we have to take readings. Thus all these experiments require some measurements to be made. During the production of mechanical products, […]

1.2.1.2 System of Units

Science > Physics > Introduction to Measurements > System of Units There are as many units as there are independent quantities. We consider length, mass, and time three quantities which are independent of each other. Hence they have three separate units for their measurements. Hence it is required to define systems of units.
