5.
3.2 Units of
Measurement > 5 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. • The metric system was originally established in France in 1795. • The International System of Units (abbreviated SI after the French name, Le Système International d’Unités) is a revised version of the metric system. • The SI was adopted by international agreement in 1960. Using SI Units

7.
3.2 Units of
Measurement > 7 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. • In SI, the basic unit of length, or linear measure, is the meter (m). • All measurements of length can be expressed in meters. • For very large and very small lengths, however, it may be more convenient to use a unit of length that has a prefix. Units of Length Using SI Units
8.
3.2 Units of

9.
3.2 Units of
Measurement > 9 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. • For example, the prefix milli- means 1/1000 (one-thousandth), so a millimeter (mm) is 1/1000 of a meter, or 0.001 m. • A hyphen (-) measures about 1 mm. • For large distances, it is most appropriate to express measurements in kilometers (km). • The prefix kilo- means 1000, so 1 km equals 1000 m. Units of Length Using SI Units
10.
3.2 Units of
Measurement > 10 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. • The space occupied by any sample of matter is called its volume. • You calculate the volume of any cubic or rectangular solid by multiplying its length by its width by its height. • The unit for volume is thus derived from the units of length. Units of Volume Using SI Units
11.
3.2 Units of
Measurement > 11 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. • The SI unit of volume is the amount of space occupied by a cube that is 1 m along each edge. • This volume is a cubic meter (m3). • A more convenient unit of volume for everyday use is the liter, a non-SI unit. • A liter (L) is the volume of a cube that is 10 centimeters (10 cm) along each edge (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm = 1000 cm3 = 1 L). Units of Volume Using SI Units
12.
3.2 Units of
Measurement > 12 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. • A smaller, non-SI unit of volume is the milliliter (mL); 1 mL is 1/1000 of a liter. • Thus, there are 1000 mL in 1 L. • Because 1 L is defined as 1000 cm3, 1 mL and 1 cm3 are the same volume. • The units milliliter and cubic centimeter are thus used interchangeably. Units of Volume Using SI Units
