MASS:
MEASUREMENTS UNITS – MASS
Mass (kilogram): The kilogram is the unit of mass. It is
equal to the mass of the International prototype of the
kilogram (a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder) kept at
BIPM, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures
in Sèvres, Paris. It consists of an alloy of 90 %
platinum 10 % iridium, and was made in 1879 by George
Matthey, of Johnson Matthey, in the form of a cylinder,
39 mm high and 39 mm diameter. It is stored at
atmospheric pressure in a specially designed triple
bell-jar.
Mass is denoted by kg
For all practical purposes Conventional Mass is related
to Mass via the following equation:

where:
Mc is the conventional mass value
M is the mass value
is the density of the test weight material in kg·m-3
Units of mass
There have historically been four different English
systems of mass: Tower weight, Troy weight, avoirdupois
weight, and apothecaries weight. Tower weight fell out
of use (due to legal prohibition) centuries ago, and was
never used in the United States. Troy weight is still
used to weigh precious metals. Apothecaries weight, once
used in pharmacy, has been largely replaced by metric
measurements. Avoirdupois weight is the primary system
of mass in the U.S. customary system.
The Avoirdupois units are legally defined as measures of
mass, but the names of these units are sometimes applied
to measures of force. For instance, in most contexts,
the pound avoirdupois is used as a unit of mass, but in
the realm of physics, the term "pound" can represent
"pound-force" (a unit of force properly abbreviated as "lbf").
English Standards of weight
Avoirdupois weight27.344 grains = 1 dram
16 drams = 437 ½ grains
16 ounces = 7000 grains
14 pounds = 1 stone
28 pounds = 1 quarter
4 quarters = 112 pounds
20 hundredweights = 2240 pounds
3 pennies = 5 halfpennies
4 grains = 1 carat
24 grains = 1 pennyweight
20 pennyweights = 480 grains
12 troy ounces = 5760 grains
The ton and hundredweight above are referred to as the
short ton, and the short hundredweight, to distinguish
them from the British Imperial ton and hundredweight,
which are larger and hence are referred to as the long
ton and long hundredweight. The long ton has limited use
in the United States.
1 long hundredweight = 112 lb ≈ 50.802 kg
1 long ton = 20 long cwt = 2240 lb ≈ 1016.047 kg ≈ 1.016
t
Apothecaries’ weight
The grain has the same definition as for avoirdupois
weight.
1 scruple (s ap) = 20 gr ≈ 1.296 g
1 dram apothecaries (dr ap) = 3 s ap ≈ 3.888 g
1 ounce apothecaries (oz ap) = 1 oz t = 8 dr ap = 480 gr
≈ 31.103 g
1 pound apothecaries (lb ap) = 1 lb t = 12 oz ap = 5760
gr ≈ 373.242 g
The pound and ounce apothecaries are identical to the
pound and ounce troy.
Troy weight
The grain has the same definition as for Avoirdupois
weight.
1 pennyweight (dwt) = 24 gr ≈ 1.555 g
1 ounce troy (oz t) = 20 dwt = 480 gr ≈ 31.103 g
1 pound troy (lb t) = 12 oz t = 5760 gr ≈ 373.242 g
Metric Standards of weight
Weight
1 grain (avoirdupois and troy) = 0.0648 grammes
1 pennyweight = 1.5552 grammes
1 dram (avoirdupois) = 1.772 grammes
1 ounce (16 drams) = 28.350 grammes
1 ounce (troy and apothecary) = 31.1035 grammes
1 pound (16 ounces) = 0.45359 kilogram
1 hundredweight = 112 pounds
1 British ton = 2240 pounds
1 American ton = 2000 pounds
1 milligram = 0.015 grain
1 gramme = 15.432 grains
1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds
1 quintal = 100 kilograms
1 tone = 0.9842 British ton
1 gallon of water at 62˚F = 10 lb
1 cubic foot water at 60˚F = 62.37 lb
1 cubic inch water at 60˚F = 0.0361 lb

12 hour = 720

MOTION:
Motion: The motion is said to be one dimensional if it
takes place on a straight line path and can be described
with the help of only one space coordinate.
The speed is defined as the distance covered by the body
per second or the rate of change of distance with time.
It is a scalar quantity.
Average speed:
The ratio of the total distance covered and the total
time taken. The unit of speed in C.G.S. system is
centimeter per second and meter per second in M.K.S. or
S.I. system. Thus,

Average Velocity: Average velocity is defined as the
total displacement divided by total time in a particular
direction. Its unit in C.G.S. system is centimeter per
second and metre per second in M.K.S. or S.I. system,
Thus,

Energy:
The capacity to do work is called energy. Energy is
neither created nor destroyed. It is converted from one
form to another.
Energy = mc2
where
m = mass
c = speed of light
Work:
Work: Work is said to be done only when a force produces
motion. Work done in moving a body is equal to the force
exerted on the body and the distance moved by the body
in the direction of force. It is generally denoted by w.
Its S.I. unit is J and its dimension is.
Hence, W = Force x Distance
= F. x S.
