Module 1 – Measurement and Dimensional Anaylsis
Introduction
Measurement is a number that describes the size or amount of something. You can measure many things like length, area, capacity, weight, temperature and time.
At times, you may need to convert between units of measurement. For example, you might want to express your height using feet and inches (5 feet 4 inches) or using only inches (64 inches). This process of converting from one unit to another unit is called unit analysis or dimensional analysis.
