System of Measurement

System of measurement refers to the process of associating number with

physical quantities and phenomena. It is more like a collection of units of
measurement and rules relating them to each other. The whole world revolves
around measuring things? Everything is measured: the milk you buy, the gas you fill
for the vehicle, the steps you walk. Even our productivity is measured in terms of
productivity indexes on how productively we work. System of measurement is very
important and define and express the different quantities of length, area, volume,
weight, in our day-to-day.

Two Different Systems of Measurement are Metric Systems and

Imperial Systems.

 Both the Imperial and U.S. Customary systems of measuring are descended
from an amalgamation of early British measurement systems.
 The British Weights and Measures Act of 1824 established the imperial
system in order to bring much-needed stability to a rapidly developing
industrial economy.
 The French formally embraced the metric system as a uniform method of
measuring in the late 18th century, despite the fact that it had been
“developed” lmost a century before.
