When we measure quantities which are very big or very small, it is difficult to write down the measured values.
The chances of making mistakes may be quite high.
We uses prefixes to simplify the writing of such numbers.

The Metre
The metre or meter is a base unit of length in the metric system used around the world for general and scientific purposes.
Historically, the metre was defined by the French Academy of Sciences as the length between two marks on a platinum-iridium bar, which was designed to represent 1⁄10,000,000 of the distance from the equator to the north pole through Paris.
In 1983, it was redefined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the distance travelled by light in free space in 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.

Measurement of Length
Unit and Measure
13
Metre rule is used to measure length of object.
Precaution to be taken when using a ruler: Avoid parallax error – the position of eye must
be in line with the reading to be taken. Avoid zeros errors and end errors – if the ends
of the ruler are worn-out, it is advisable that measurements should start from the 1 cm mark of the scale
![Page 14: Unit and Measure](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/554a407db4c9055a408b4e53/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Any instrument that are out of adjustment or with some minor fault is still accurate as long as the zero error is added or subtracted form the reading shown on the scale.

Reading Vernier Scale
The vernier scale consists of a 9 mm long scale divided into 10 divisions.
The scale shows the object being measure is between 2.4 cm and 2.5 cm long.
To find the second decimal number, look for a making on the vernier scale which coincides with a marking on the main scale.

Micrometer screwgauge is used to measured the diameter of fine wires, the thickness of paper and similar small lengths.
It has two scales: the main scale on the sleeve and the circular scale on the thimble which have 50 divisions. One complete turn of the thimble moves the spindle by 0.50 mm.

There are number of precautions one should take when using a micrometer: The thimble should never be tightened too
much. Clean the ends of the anvil and spindle
before making a measurement. Check for systematic error by closing the
micrometer when there is nothing between its anvil and spindle.

Time
Time is measured in years, months, days, hours, minutes & seconds.
The second is the SI unit of time. All timing devices make use of some
regular process such as regularly repeating motions called oscillations.
One regular oscillations is referred to as the period of the oscillation.

Other Clocks
Pendulum clock is used to measured long intervals of time. The gravitational potential energy from the descending mass is used to keep the pendulum swinging.
Watches also used to measure long intervals of time. It depend on the vibration of quartz crystals to keep accurate time. The energy keeping the crystal vibrate comes from small battery, coiled springs or by kinetic energy.

Stopwatch Stopwatches are used to measure short
intervals of time. There are two types; the digital stopwatch and
analog watch. The digital stopwatch is more precise as it can
measure time intervals of 0.01 seconds while the analogue stopwatch measures in intervals of 0.1 seconds.
One common error in using stopwatches is the reaction time in starting and stopping the watch which is few hundredths of a second (typically 0.3 s)
