Measurement and Experimentation


   
 
Summary
International System of (SI) unit has been adopted for measurement by scientists all over the world.
 
Three fundamental units needed in physics are those of lengths, mass and time.
 
Units of all other physical quantities we come across in physics are derived from these fundamental units.
 
Least count of an instrument is the smallest reading that you can measure accurately with that instrument.
 
mks units of length, mass and time are meter, kilogram and second.
 
The time period of a simple pendulum depends upon its length and acceleration due to gravity.
 
 
Least Count, Millennium, Parallax Error, Pitch, Second, Seconds Pendulum, Significant Figures, Simple Pendulum, System, Time Period, Unit, Zero Error.
