Question

write down the difficulties that arise due to the use of different scales in different parts of the world​

Answer 1

Answer:

In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie1 of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?

Answer 2

$\sf\huge\bold{Answer:}$

Many difficulties would arise if there was a lack of uniformity in the measurement instruments(use of different scales) in the different parts of world.

Impact on International trades :

The major problem is faced during the international trades that occur between different countries.This opens up a problem on international level.

Level of accuracy :

The second difficulty faced is lack of accuracy.When there are large number of conversions that takes place during exchange the value that is finalised is not enough accurate.So,the level of accuracy decreases .

Difficulty faced by Local traders :

When local traders gets the products transferred from other countries,they find it the most difficult to convert the amounts while selling and buying the goods.

Time and labour consuming :

A lot of time and labour is used which is a waste of capital and technology.This delays further processes and increases the time of a specific deal .

Solution :

To solve this problem International system of Units was introduced.

• The current international standard for the metric system is the International System of Units (Système international d'unités or SI).
• It is a system in which all units can be expressed in terms of seven units.
• The units that serves as the SI base units are the

1. metre,
2. kilogram,
3. second,
4. ampere,
5. kelvin,
6. mole,
7. candela.
