DIMENSI DAN SATUAN

1
merupakan suatu kuantitas (variabel properti) yang dapat
diukur.

Dimensi dasar/pokok :
Panjang [L] , Masa [M], Mole [mol], Waktu [t], Suhu [T],
Arus listrik [A], Intensitas Cahaya [I]

Dimensi Turunan : adalah gabungan dimensi dasar :

Volume [L3], Densitas [ML-3], Viskositas [ML-1t-1]
Merupakan pernyataan spesifik dari dimensi yang
ditentukan oleh hukum/konvensi/kebiasaan.
Ada 3 kelompok yaitu :
1. Satuan Dasar
2. Satuan Pengali (kelipatan atau fraksi dari satuan dasar)
3. Satuan Turunan

Ada 2 sistem satuan

Who is more accurate when measuring a book

that has a true length of 17.0 cm?

Susan:
17.0cm, 16.0cm, 18.0cm, 15.0cm

Amy:
15.5cm, 15.0cm, 15.2cm, 15.3cm
