Unit 1: Measurement
Measurement and it's importance:
- It is essential in trade i.e. selling, buying and exchanging of goods.
- It is required in performing daily life activities.
- Measurement of medicine is a must for the proper treatment of diseases.
- It is essential for scientific experiments while collecting data and information.
- Measurement plays an important role in the manufacturing of goods such as clothes, food items
- Fundamental units
- Derived units
Fundamental units:The units of the fundamental quantities are called fundamental unit. Those units which are independent cannot be derived from other unit is called fundamental unit.Physical Quantity

Derived units:Derived units are composed of the fundamental units and are originated from the products and ratios of the fundamental units. Derived units belong to physical quantities that are derived from basic physical properties. Examples are:
Velocity – a physical quantity derived from fundamental quantities of length and time
velocity = distance / time = m/s
So the units of velocity is ms-1
Some derived units:
Volume: cubic meter, Force: Newton, Pressure: watt, Frequency: hertz, Work: Joule etc.

Derived unit
1) The units of the fundamentalquantities are called fundamental unit.2) e.g kilogram , meter, secondare the fundamental units 1) The units which are derivedfrom the fundamental unitsare called derived units.2) Newton, joules are the derived units.
SI Units and its Significance:
Physical Quantity | Unit | Symbol |
mass | kilogram | kg |
length | meter | m |
time | second | s |
temperature | Kelvin | K |
electric current | ampere | A |
amount of substance | mole | mol |
luminous intensity | candela | Cd |
Derived units are composed of the fundamental units and are originated from the products and ratios of the fundamental units. Derived units belong to physical quantities that are derived from basic physical properties. Examples are:
Velocity – a physical quantity derived from fundamental quantities of length and time
velocity = distance / time = m/s
So the units of velocity is ms-1
Some derived units:
Volume: cubic meter, Force: Newton, Pressure: watt, Frequency: hertz, Work: Joule etc.

SI Units and its Significance:
The units used in SI system are called SI units (System international de units). For example, meter is the unit of length and kilogram is the unit of mass.
significance:
- The system of SI units has bought uniformity and similarity in measurement all over the world.
- Each units has its sub multiples and multiples. This helps in taking any magnitude of measurement.
- It is a coherent system of units. That is, in this system, all the derived units can be easily obtained from fundamental units.
Measurement of mass:
Measurement of Time:
Time measuring devices:
- Mechanical or automatic or pendulum clock
- Quartz clock
- Electronic clock
- Atomic clock
Measurement of area:
Measurement of Volume:
Ten to power notation or Scientific notation:
- it allows us to easily write and make calculations with extremely small and extremely large numbers.
- It helps in saving time and increases accuracy.
- It also helps to save space.

Unit 1: Force
Force:
at rest or in uniform motion along the straight line. Force is a vector quantity.
their centre. If the distance between their centers is d then,
According to Newton’s universal law of gravitation,
We have F ∝ M1M2……1
F ∝ 1/d2
Combining I and 2 we get F ∝ M1 M2/d2
F=GM1M2/d2
Where G is proportionality constant which is known as universal gravitational constant.
The numerical value of gravitational constant (G) is 6.67*10-11 and its unit is Nm2/Kg2
Properties of G:
and chemical composition of the masses of the bodies.
Gravity:
It is the force which pulls an object towards the centre of the earth.
influence of gravity is called Acceleration due to gravity.
It's symbol is “g” and its SI unit is meter per second (m/s2).
Relation between acceleration due to gravity and radius of the earth
the surface of the earth
F=G Mm/R2………………………1
Also the body is attracted towards the centre of the earth with a force given by
F=mg…………………..2
From 1 and 2, mg = G Mm /R2
g=GM/R2…………….3
'G' and 'M' are constant whereas 'R' varies because radius of the earth is more at the equator
We can say that the acceleration due to the gravity is independent to the mass of the body
Variation of the value of g:
Value of the g maximum at poles but minimum at equator
b. Variation due to the height from the surface of the earth: g’ = (R/R+h) 2 g
If we increase the height from the surface of the earth the quantity in the bracket becomes
less than 1.
And the acceleration due to the gravity decreases as height from the surface is increased.
c. Variation from the depth of earth surface: g’ = g(R-x)/R since the quantity
(R-x)/R is less than 1 .The value of g inside the earth decreases with increase in depth.
At centre of the earth x=R so gravity at the centre of the earth is 0
Gravitational field and Gravitational field intensity:
called gravitational field.
Gravitational field intensity is the force experienced by the unit mass kept at that point.
It is given by
Gravitational Field intensity (I) = Forced experienced / mass
If the body of mass m is kept at the distance d from the centre of the earth of mass M and
radius R
Figure:
Them force experienced by the mass is given by
F = G Mm/d2
To calculate the gravitational field intensity we have to take a unit mass so m =1
Gravitational field intensity (I) = GM/d2
If the body is at the surface of the earth d = R
(I) = G M/R2
This is numerically equal to the acceleration due to gravity.
Mass: It is the quantity of matter contained in the body. It is scalar quantity.
Weight: It is the force with which the object is attracted towards the centre of the earth. It is
vector quantity.
Weight=mass * gravity. Weight depends upon gravity and gravity depends on the distance.
E.g. As the stone is away from the earth surface the weight of the stone is less than the
stone present in the bottom.
of gravity without external resistance, the fall of the object is free fall.
Weightlessness: Weightlessness is the condition at which the apparent weight of a body is
zero. Weightlessness is possible in the absence of gravity.

ReplyDelete1) What is free fall ? Write any two
examples.
Ans. When an object falls under the
influence of force of gravity only,( in
absence of external resistance like air).
Then, the motion of a body is called free
fall.
Examples of free fall are÷
* Object falling on the surface of moon.
* A stone dropped down an empty well.
2. What are the conditions of free fall. Write
any two conditions.
Ans. Following are the condition of free
fall÷
* When a body fall under the effect of
gravity only.
* When the acceleration produced in a
falling body is equal to the
acceleration due to gravity (i.e. a = g)
Well done Bipin.
Deleteप्रश्न न. २ "conditions of weightlessness" हुनुपर्ने मा conditions of free fall भएकोले सच्चाएको छु। जे होस् , तिमीले लेखेको ठिक छ।
