As defined in the previous section, the length is the measure of something. The base unit for length in the International System of Units (SI) system, is the meter and it is abbreviated as m. This can be done when the length is expressed using suitable units, such as the length of a...
Measuring devices or instruments can be of the indicating type where the instantaneous value is shown or they can be of the recording type when the value is recorded continuously on a chart providing a permanent record. A clock, for example, is an indicating instrument for the measurement of ...
Physical quantities such as length, mass, volume, density, and temperature have corresponding SI units. These are the following: length in m; mass in kg; volume in cubic meter; density in kilogram per cubic meter; and temperature in kelvin. Prefixes (i.e., centi-, centi-, and kilo-) ...
