1 Chapter:- 1. Physics and Measurement 1- Length: The Standard International unit of length is the meter. The length of the meter was defined as the distance between two lines on a specific platinum iridium bar stored under controlled conditions in France. ١ 1 millimeter (mm) = 10-3 meter 1 micrometer (µm) = 10-6 meter 1 Nanometer (nm) = 10-9 meter

2 2 Mass The basic SI unit of mass, the kilogram (kg), is defined as the mass of a specific platinum iridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sèvres, France. 1 kg = 10 3 g Figure 1. The National Standard Kilogram No. 20, an accurate copy of the International Standard Kilogram kept at Sèvres, France, is housed under a double bell jar in a vault at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). ٢

3 3 - Time The basic SI unit of time is second (s) 1 ms = 10-3 s 1 µs = 10-6 s 1 Ns = 10-9 s Figure 2. The primary frequency standard (an atomic clock) at the NIST. This device keeps time with an accuracy of about 3 millionths of a second per year. (Courtesy of National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. Department of Commerce ٣

4 DENSITY It is defined as mass per unit volume. (الرص اص) For example, aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm 3, and lead has a density of 11.3 g/cm 3. The difference in density between aluminum and lead is due to their different atomic masses. m ρ = V The atomic mass ( ال ذري (ال وزن of an element is the average mass of one atom. One mole of substance A contains the same number of atoms as 1 mol of another substance B. 1 mol of aluminum contains the same number of atoms as 1 mol of lead, known as Avogadro s number, NA = 6.02 x 1023 atom/mol ٤

5 The mass of a solid cube is 856 g, and each edge has a length of 5.35 cm. Determine the density ρ of the cube in basic SI units. ٥

6 ٦

7 Example A rectangular plate has a length of (21.3 ± 0.2) cm and a width of (9.80 ± 0.1) cm. Find the area of the plate and the uncertainty in the calculated area. (9.80 ± 0.1) Solution Area = l w = (21.3 ± 0.2 cm) x (9.80 ± 0.1 cm) = (21.3 x 9.80 ± 21.3 x 0.1 ± 0.2 x 9.80) cm 2 (209 ± 4) cm 2 (21.3 ± 0.2) cm Problem : A solid piece of lead ( الرص اص م ن ص لبة (قطعة has a mass of g and a volume of 2.10 cm 3. From these data, calculate the density of lead in SI units (kg/m 3 ). ٧
