2.1 Units of Measure


2.1.1
(a) N/mm or nm (nanometer)
(b) °C/M/s
(c) 100 kPa
(d) 273.15 K
(e) 1.50m, 45 kg
(f) 250°C
(g) J/s
(h) 250 N


2.1.2 a. The device measures equivalent masses when it is balanced (both pans aligned
horizontally).
b. The compressed spring measures the force under the influence of gravity. If this
system were applied on the surface of the moon, the measurement would be much
smaller.
