number of fundamental laws that govern natural
phenomena and to use them to develop theories that
can predict the results of future experiments.

The need for assigning numerical values to various measured physical
quantities was expressed by Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) as
follows:
“I often say that when you can measure what you are

speaking about, and express i t in numbers,
numbers you
should know something about it, but when you
cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge
is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind. It may
be the beginning of knowledge but you have scarcely
in your thoughts advanced to the state of science.”

The laws of physics are expressed as mathematical
relationships among physical quantities.

Physical Quantity
a small number of basic quantities.
Physical Quantity
talk to us about a length of 8 “glitches” if we do not know the
meaning of the unit glitch.
Likewise, if we are told that a person has a mass of 75 kilograms and our
unit of mass is defined to be 1 kilogram, then that person is 75 times as
massive as our basic unit.
Physical Quantity
particular physical quantity as the product of a number and a unit, the
number being its numerical value.
For example, the circumference of the earth around the equator is given by:
Ce = 40.074.103 m
where Ce is the physical quantity and the number 40.074. 103 is the
numerical value of this quantity expressed in the unit "meter".

The basic units a physical materialization should be available
that enables a comparison of the associated quantity with other
instruments: a standard.
Physical Quantity
For instance the unit of the meter was the distance between two small
scratches on a particular platinum bar that was kept under the
supervision of the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM)
in Srvres, France.
7
For other units too (primary) standards have been constructed, and they
have been used for a long time to compare the unit value with other
standards, called secondary standards.
Physical Quantity
The unit value for the quantities mass, length and time have been
chosen with a view to practical applicability. For instance, the
circumference of the earth could be a proper standard but is highly
impractical; therefore the meter was originally defined (1791) as one
ten millionth of a quarter of the earth's meridian passing through
Paris, which is a much more practical measure for daily life usage.

Length
In A.D. 1120 the king of England decreed that the standard of length in his
country would be named the yard (3 ft) and would be precisely equal to
the distance from the tip of his nose to the end of his outstretched arm.
Physical Quantity
Similarly, the original standard for the foot adopted by the French
was the length of the royal foot of King Louis XIV (until 1799).
9
Evidently, these physical standards were much more stable and
reproducible than those defined earlier on the basis of human properties.
Physical Quantity
Length of a foot, defined as the average of the feet of 12 men 10
As recently as 1960, the length of the meter was defined as

Mass
Physical Quantity
This mass standard was established in
1887 and has not been changed since that
time because platinum–iridium is an
unusually stable alloy.
Before 1960, the standard of time was defined in terms of the mean
solar day for the year 1900.
Physical Quantity
appearances of the Sun at the highest point it reaches in the
sky each day.)
The rotation of the Earth is now known to vary slightly with time,
however, and therefore this motion is not a good one to use for defining
a time standard.

In 1967, the second was redefined to take advantage of the high
precision attainable in a device known as an atomic clock , which uses
the characteristic frequency of the cesium-133 atom as the “reference
clock.”
Physical Quantity
The second (s) is now
defined as 9 192 631770
times the period of
vibration of radiation from
the cesium atom.

Quantities and
properties
A quantity is a property ascribed to phenomena, processes or objects, to
which a value or a class can be assigned.
Physical Quantity
Quantities that have magnitude only are called scalar quantities;
a quantity with magnitude and direction is called a vector quantity.
Physical Quantity
For instance, the resistivity ρ (Ω m) is a pure material
property, where as the resistance R(Ω ) depends on the
material as well as the dimensions of the resistor body.

The seven standard units are defined as follows:
The meter is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a
time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second [17th CGPM (1983), Res.1].

Meter; right: rulings on the polished facet; the two thick vertical lines indicate the
length at 0~ and 20~ taking into account the thermal expansion [National Physical
Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex]
The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation
Physical Quantity
corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the
ground state of the cesium 133 atom [13th CGPM (1967), Res.1].

The Kelvin,
Kelvin unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273.16 of the
thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water [ 13th CGPM (1967),
Res.4].
Physical Quantity
The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains
as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012
kilogram of carbon 12 [14th CGPM (1971), Res.3].

Physical quantity is the numerical value of a measurable property that
describes a physical system's state at a moment in time.
Physical Quantity
A physical property is any measurable property the value of
which describes a physical system's state at any given
moment in time.

The physical properties of an object are defined traditionally in a Newtonian sense;
the physical properties of an object may include, but are not limited to:
Physical Quantity
•boiling point •emission •magnetic field •reflectivity
•capacitance •flow rate •magnetic flux •spin
•color •fluidity •mass •strength
•concentration •frequency •melting point •temperature
•conductance •impedance •moment •tension
•density •inductance •momentum •thermal transfer
•dielectric •intensity •permeability
•ductility •irradiance •permittivity •velocity
•distribution •length •pressure •viscosity
•efficacy •volume
42
A quantity is called:
•extensive when its magnitude is additive for subsystems (volume,
mass, etc.)
•intensive when the magnitude is independent of the extent of the
system (temperature, pressure, etc.)
Physical Quantity
There are also physical quantities that can be classified as neither
extensive nor intensive, for example angular momentum, area, force,
length, and time.
