SI System of Units • also known as Systeme International d’Unites • a modified form of the metric system and is generally a system of units of measurement • simple and convenient to use since all units are based on multiples of 10.
What is the SI unit for: Length? Mass? Temperature? Time? Amount of substance? Luminous intensity? Volume?
Formula - Temperature: °C= 5/9 (°F-32) °F=9/5 (°C+32) K= °C + 273 °C= K-273
What is the importance of having standard units of measurement?
Self-check: Give examples of transactions or activities in our country which make use of metric system.
Precision is the degree of agreement between different values obtained under basically the same conditions; it is a measure of the degree with which measurements agree; is how close the measured values are to each other. • Accuracy is the degree of agreement between the experimental result and the true value; is how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value.
Factors affecting accuracy and precision • Human error • Condition of equipment • Quality of materials used • Environmental conditions such as temperature and pressure
