Accuracy in measurement can be predicted from:, (i) Process of measurement, , (ii) Use of measuring Instruments, , - Measurement is carried out by comparing the given, , physical quantity with standard., , - Any measurement consists of two parts e.g. mass of an, , object is 5 kg. Here, number 5 indicates the magnitude, and kg represents the standard. It is clearly, , understood that the mass of an object is 5 times the, standard., , \f all the quantities measured are clearly defined, there, is no chance of confusion between two persons., , e.g. If a person goes to a goods’ shop and asks for only, ‘2’ milk bags, shopkeeper will be confused whether to, give 2, ¥2 litre milk bags or 2, one litre milk bags. So, the measurement is not clearly defined in this case., , Measurement plays key role in development of, engineering and science., , Necessity of measurement in science, , 1. To identify various laws, , Relation between two or more quantities can be, , determined by measuring changes under variable, conditions., , e.g. Consider a gas of mass ‘m’ with constant, pressure (P). To determine the relation between, volume (V) and temperature (T), one has to check, the variations in V and T by accurate, measurement. At constant pressure it is observed, that volume (V) of a gas increases with increase in, absolute temperate (T). This is called Charles’ law., , 2. To verify various laws, , - If some statements or laws are to be verified,, then concerned physical quantities should be, measured accurately., , e.g. To verify series law of condensers, one should, calculate effective capacitance by formula and, compare it with experimental results., , Basic Science-(Physics) (MSBTE - | Scheme) 1-2, , Necessity of measurement in engineering, 1. Accurate prediction of physical quantities, , e.g. Measurement of length, mass, time, radius, has to, be clearly measured for developing engineering, products., 2.
