Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The high-tech instrument that is able to make an exact measurement is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Metric system is a measurement system which has units of meter, liter, and gram as the units for measuring length, volume and mass. Adoption of the metric system as a universal system of measurement has been resisted by several countries.
Answer to Problem PSS.1CE
There is no high-tech instrument that is able to make an exact measurement.
Explanation of Solution
In science, measurements are regularly recorded in metric units. SI system is an extension of the metric system and has seven base units.
There is no such method or technique which is able to make an exact or precise measurement. There is always an uncertainty of
No instrument can make an exact measurement.
