The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from the French phrase, Système International d'Unités) is the most widely used system of units. It is the most common
system for everyday commerce in the world, and is almost universally used in the realm of science
![Page 6: SYSTEMS of UNITS & RADIOLOGIC UNITS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681529d550346895dc0c1b9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Scientists, chiefly in France, had been advocating and discussing a decimal system of measurement based on natural units at least since 1640, but the first official adoption of such a system was after the French revolution of 1789. The metric system tried to choose units which were non-arbitrary and practical, merging well with the revolution's official ideology of "pure reason"; it was proposed as a considerable improvement over the inconsistent customary units which existed before, whose value often depended on the region

According to a survey taken many years ago, the only other countries that have not officially adopted the metric system are Liberia (in western Africa) and Myanmar (also known as Burma, in Southeast Asia). These two countries did not have an official policy of converting to metric, at least at the time of the survey. Despite recent repeated inquiries to the governments of both Liberia and Myanmar, no response from either country has been received as to whether an official policy has been adopted since this survey was conducted. Their Web sites utilize both inch-pound and metric units. Visitors to these countries report some evidence of the use of the metric system. Most other countries have either used the metric system for many years, or have adopted the metric system within the last 30 or 40 years. There is controversy about how to define whether a country is metric. Metrication is a process that does not happen all at once, but is rather a process that happens over time. Although nearly every country has taken steps to replace traditional measurements, the fact remains that among countries with non-metric usage the U.S. is the only significant holdout.

1 METERThe most important unit is that of length: one metre was originally defined to be equal to 1/10 000 000th of the distance from the pole to the equator along the meridian through Paris. (Prior discussions had often suggested the length of a seconds pendulum in some standard gravity, which would have been only slightly shorter, and perhaps easier to determine.) This is approximately 10% longer than one yard. Later on, a platinum rod with a rigid, X-shaped cross section was produced to serve as the easy-to-check standard for one metre's length. Due to the difficulty of actually measuring the length of a meridian quadrant in the 18th century, the first platinum prototype was short by 0.2 millimetres. More recently, the metre was redefined as a certain multiple of a specific radiation wavelength, and currently it is defined as the distance travelled by light in a vacuum in a specific period of time. Attempts to relate an integer multiple of the metre to any meridian have been abandoned

The original base unit of mass in the metric system was the gram, chosen to match the mass of one cubic centimetre of water. For practical reasons, the reference standard that was deposited at the Archives de la république on June 22, 1799 was a kilogram (a cylinder of platinum). One kilogram is about 2.2 pounds. In 1889, the first General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) sanctioned a replacement prototype, a cylinder of a 90% platinum, 10% iridium alloy; this has served as the standard ever since, and is stored in a Paris vault. The kilogram became the base unit in 1901.

The metric unit of time became the second, originally defined as 1/86 400th of a mean solar day. The formal definition of the second has been changed several times as more accurate definitions became possible, based first on astronomic observations, then the tuning fork clock, quartz clock, and today the caesium atomic clock

The SI derived unit of activity, usually meaning radioactivity. "Radioactivity" is caused when atoms disintegrate, ejecting energetic particles

RADIOACTIVITY
The SI derived unit of activity, usually meaning radioactivity. "Radioactivity" is caused when atoms disintegrate, ejecting energetic particles. One becquerel is the radiation caused by one disintegration per secondThe unit is named for a French physicist, Antoine-Henri Becquerel (1852-1908), the discoverer of radioactivity
One curie was originally defined as the radioactivity of one gram of pure radium. In 1953 scientists agreed that the curie would represent exactly 3.7 x 1010 atomic disintegrations per secondThe unit is named for Pierre and Marie Curie, the discoverers of radium and polonium.
