PART
UNITSUnits are labels that are used to distinguish one type ofmeasurable quantity from other types. Length, mass, andtime are distinctly different physical quantities, andtherefore have different unit names, such as meters,kilograms and seconds. We use several systems of units,including the metric SI) units, the English or UScustomary units), and a number of others, which are ofmainly historical interest.This part of the book contains the following:

METRIC UNITS OF MEASUREMENTThe metric system was first proposed in 1791.TheFrench Revolutionary Assembly adopted it in 1795, andthe first metric standards a standard meter bar andkilogram bar) were adopted in 1799.
