Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The quantity expressed by the given unit is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Measurements are done with the help of an instrument. The instrument is usually calibrated. The preciseness of the measurement depends upon the sensitivity of the instrument and its calibration. Every instrument has a degree of uncertainty. Smaller the degree of uncertainty, higher the precision.
(b)
Interpretation:
The quantity expressed by the given unit is to be stated.
