Editor's Notes
Lets define
MEASUREMENT AND CALCULATION
to help us determine how much material is needed for a certain piece of work.
WE NEED TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POSTS TO DETERMINW HOW MANY CHB WOULD FIT IN FOR ONE LAYER.
= 4m /.40
=10
Therefore 10 pcs of CHB that will be used for one layer
= 5m /.040M
=12.5 chb used
Therefore 25 pcs of CHB that will be used for 2nd layer
SCALAR QUANTITY
Only the magnitude or
amount of quantity.
VECTOR QUANTITY
- Only the magnitude but
also the direction
Here we will deal only with scalar quantity. As far as measuring work is concerned, we will be dealing only with measurement of LENGTH, AREA and VOLUME.
Area – quantity that expenses the extent of two-dimensional surface or shape. Only the dimension and area itself is computed.
VOLUME – three-dimensional space enclosed by some boundaries like area, volumes also can be computed after measuring the necessary dimension.
To work with things that vary in size, we can convert between small and large size measurement quickly through the help of a measuring system.
Metric system – are measure through METER (LENGTH); kilograms (MASS); second (TIME)
English system – imperial units – are measured through INCHES, FEET, YARDS, POUNS, OUNCE.
Solution: Multiply 5ft by 12 inches / ft
= 60 inches or 60’’
Solution: Divide 36 inches by 12 inches / feet = 3 feet or 3’
Solution: Multiply 40 cm by 10 mm / cm
= 400 millimeter or
= 400 mm
Solution: Multiply 10 inches by 2.54 cm / inh = 25.4 centimeters or 25.4 cm
