What to Focus On

  • Length, mass, time, and temperature are basic physical quantities.
  • S.I. units are m, kg, s, and K.
  • Different quantities need different measuring instruments.
  • Volume means space occupied by an object.
  • The S.I. unit of volume is m³.
  • 1 L = 1000 cm³ and 1 cm³ = 1 mL.
  • Regular solids use formula-based volume calculation.
  • Irregular solids use the displacement method.
  • The rise in liquid level gives the volume of the irregular body.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Volume of an irregular solid is found by subtracting the final water level from the initial water level.

A measuring cylinder and a measuring beaker are the same instrument.

The meniscus is read from the upper curved surface of the liquid.

Memory Tips

Measurement means comparing an unknown quantity with a fixed known unit of the same kind

Length, mass, time, and temperature are basic physical quantities

Length is distance between two points and is measured in metre using a metre ruler or measuring tape

Mass is quantity of matter and is measured in kilogram using a beam balance or electronic balance
