12 lip 2023 · To identify the basic units of measurement of the seven fundamental properties. Describe the names and abbreviations of the SI base units and the SI decimal prefixes. Define the liter and the metric ton in these units. Explain the meaning and use of unit dimensions; state the dimensions of volume.
Although there are exceptions, most liquids and solids have densities that range from about 0.7 g/cm 3 (the density of gasoline) to 19 g/cm 3 (the density of gold). The density of air is about 1.2 g/L. Table 3 shows the densities of some common substances.
Metric Volume. Volume is the amount of 3-dimensional space something takes up. The two most common measurements of volume are: Milliliters. Liters. A milliliter is a very small amount of liquid. Here is a milliliter of milk in a teaspoon. It only fills the bottom of the teaspoon!

SHAPES. Scales, which are similar to rulers, come in several shapes. The various shapes allow for a different number of scale ratios to be used. An opposite bevel scale has two sides with only one scale ratio on each side. A two-bevel scale also has two scale ratios, but they are on the same side.
