To determine:
The reason for using SI unit as standard units of measurements.
Introduction:
SI unit, the International System of Units, is the new and modern form of the metric system. At this moment, SI unit is the only system of measuring things. It consists of seven base units, that are, kilogram (mass), meter (length), second (time), kelvin (temperature), ampere (current), candela (luminous intensity), and mole (amount of substance).
Explanation of Solution
There are various reasons of thanking the scientists for using SI units, which are:
1. The SI units of measurements are used in almost every location of the planet earth. So, it is a kind of single standard way of communicating scientific data irrespective of different global languages.
2. Like the normal number system, the base of SI units is 10. So, it becomes very easy to convert the units and remember them.
