MEASURABLE QUANTITIES
Ø Measurement :
The activity of ascertaining the extent of given quantity by comparison with a standard is called
measurement. (Or) The act of measuring is called measurement.
Quantity : Quantity means size or amount of a given quality.
Physical quantity : A quantity which can be measured is called physical quantity.
Eg : Length, area, volume, speed, force, energy, etc
Ø The physical quantities are classified into following types :
i) Fundamental physical quantities
ii) Supplementary physical quantities
iii) Derived physical quantities
Ø Various Systems of Units :
To measure the fundamental quantities length, mass and time, earlier there were three systems of units.
They were F.P.S system (British system). C.G.S system (Metric system) and M.K.S system.
System Fundamental Physical Quantities
Units Length Mass Time
F. P. S foot (ft) pound (Lb) second (s)
C. G. S centimetre (cm) gram (g) second (s)
M. K. S metre (m) kilogram (kg) second (s)

In 1960, Eleventh general conference of weights and Measures introduced rationalized system of units.
This system of units is called system of international (S.I). In S.I system there are seven fundamental
physical quantities.
Mass, length, time, thermodynamic temperature, luminous intensity, electric current, amount of substance
are classified as fundamental physical quantities in S.I.
In addition to these two more physical quantities like plane angle and solid angle are introduced as
supplementary physical quantities.

Length metre m
Mass kilogram kg
Time second s
Strength of electric current ampere A

plane angle radian rad
solid angle steradian sr
All the units and their symbols are to be written strictly as they are represented in the table of S.I units
Ø FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL QUANTITIES
The physical quantities which can exist independently are called fundamental quantities. The units of
fundamental quantities are called fundamental units.
The Fundamental physical quantities we experience in daily life are.
1. Mass : The quantity of matter present in an object or body is called mass.

2. Length : The extent from end to end of an object is called length. Depending on the direction of
considering the ends of an object, it may be treated as breadth or height.

3. Time : The interval between two events is referred as time.

4. Amount of substance : When we observe the bodies microscopically we understand that objects and
materials are made up of small tiny particles called molecules and atoms. The term we use to refer the
number of molecules or atoms in a material is mole. It is a number which describes the amount of
substance.

1 mole = 6.023 × 1023

5. Thermodynamic temperature : The degree of hotness or coldness of body is called thermodynamic


temperature.

6. Luminous Intensity : The luminous flux emitted through unit solid angle is called luminous intensity.
Luminous flux : The total amount of light energy radiated from light source in all directions.

7. Electric current : The rate of flow of charge through the conductor is called electric current.

The supplementary physical quantities :


1. Plane Angle : The union of two rays having same initial point is called plane angle.

2. Solid Angle : The angle present in a cone at the vertex is called solid angle.

II. When we observe the moving objects around us, the fundamental physical quantities we experience
are
1. Path : It is the line joining the successive positions of a
body in motion.
2. Distance : Length of the path is called distance.
3. Displacement : The length of the line joining initial and
final positions of a body in motion. It is specified with
direction.
Unit : Unit is a standard measure of any physical quantity.
Unit is also a value. Every physical quantity (P) is
expressed as number (N) followed by its unit (U) = NU
