Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.1CE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The basic unit of length, mass, and volume in the metric system are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Metric system is a measurement system which has units of meter, liter, and gram as the units for measuring length, volume and mass. Adoption of the metric system as a universal system of measurement has been resisted by several countries. In science, measurements are regularly recorded in metric units.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 2.1CE
The basic unit of length, mass, and volume in the metric system are meter, gram, and liter respectively.
Explanation of Solution
Length is used to measure distances. It is the measurement of an object from one end to another end. The length is expressed by the unit, meter in metric systems. The symbol of the meter is
The mass of an object is the measure of the amount of matter it contains. It is a measure of the amount of matter in a body. It is different from the weight as weight is dependent on gravity but the mass is not. The basic metric system of mass is gram. The symbol of the gram is
The value of
Conclusion
The basic unit of length is liter. The basic unit of mass is gram. The basic unit of volume is liter.
