PHYSICAL QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTSObjective
To obtain derived quantity from base quantities To ensure consistency, sensitivity and accuracy of instruments
Inference
1. Base quantities are the quantities that cannot be defined in terms ofother quantities.2. Derived quantities are physical quantities derived from the base
quantities through multiplication, division or both.
3. Density of substance, = mass = mVolume v
4. Relative density,
Hypothesis
1. Measuring physical quantity precisely.2. Differentiate between base and derived quantities.

Questions
State the precautionary steps to avoid errors in the experiment .
Repeated reading are taken and the average value is calculated Avoid parallax error Avoid zero error Use instruments which is not defective
Conclusions
The derived quantities can be calculated or expressed in terms of basequantities
Exercising greater care and effort when taking readings
