Question

Why all masses cannot be measured in kilograms

Answer 1

Answer:

All masses can't be measured in kgs because you can't denote two different things by same Identity.

for ex. hey look the car is going at a velocity of 20kgs

what does it tell velocity or mass?

And it also ruins your grammar.

Answer 2

All masses cannot be measured in kilograms because of the following reasons:

• Some of the objects are very small and their masses are in the order of nano-grams (for example : Viruses)

• In that case , if you try to express the mass in kilograms we need to write upto 9 places of decimal which increases the chances of operator error.

• Again , kilogram is very small unit when it is used for measuring the masses of massive objects like celestial bodies (for example : sun or moon).

• Hence , we need to change our unit of masses in accordance to the type of object being measured.
