7. Length is a fundamental quantity.
8. Odometer shows the distance covered by an automobile
9. A tailor uses Tape to take measurements to stitch the cloth.
10. Liquids are measured with this physical quantity Litre.
IX. Answer briefly.
1. Define measurement.
The comparison of an unknown quantity with some known quantity is
known as measurement.
2. Define mass.
Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object.
3. The distance between two places is 43.65 km. Convert it into metre and
cm.
a)Convert km into metre
1 km = 1000m
43.65km = 43.65 X 1000
= 43650.00
= 43650 m
Volume b) Convert km into cm
1 km = 1000 m
1m = 100 cm
43.65 km = 43650 m
= 43650 x100
= 4365000 cm
4. What are the rules to be followed to make accurate measurement with
scale?
Correct position of the eye is also important for taking measurement.
Your eye must be vertically above the point where the measurement has to be
taken. In the above representation, to avoid parallax error.
X. Solve the following.
1. The distance between your school and your house is 2250 m. Express
this distance in kilometre.
Distance between school and house is 2250 m
2250 m = 2250 𝑚 ÷1000
= 2.25 km.
2. While measuring the length of a sharpened pencil, reading of the scale
at one end is 2.0 cm and at the other end is 12.1 cm. What is the length of
the pencil?
The difference between the two readings is the length of the pencil
= 12.1 cm – 2.0 cm
= 10.1 cm or 10 cm and 1mm.
XI. Answer in detail.
1. Explain two methods that you can use to measure the length of a
curved line.
 Draw a curved line AB on a piece of paper
 Place a string along the curved line. Make sure that the string covers
every bit of the curved line.
 Mark the points where the curved line begins and ends on the string.
 Now, stretch the string along the length of a meter scale and measure the
distance between the two markings of the string and note it.
 This will give you the length of a curved line.
