INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS
Physics is a study of how the universe behaves. The word physics is taken from
greek word ‘physikos’, which means nature. It is the science of nature in broader
sense. Physicists study the behaviour and interactions of matter.
Observe the following events which we come across in our daily life.
How can a large ship which can float in water, but a small metal piece can not
float ?
Why we see Lightning first and then we hear a thunder?.

How rainbow forms ?

What is there beyond Sun ?

How can Sun gives us Light and Heat ?

Why Stars appear to wobble or twinkle ?

Why a magnet looses its property when heated?

How molten wax raises to the tip in a burning candle?
There are so many other numerous questions and problems which are needed to
be answered and to be solved. The answers for the above phenomena is possible
only through the study of PHYSICS.
Physics is the branch of science that deals with the study of matter and energy.
Physics is the study of laws of nature.

Introduction to Measurement
Measurement is the basis of science. lt plays an important role in our daily life.
All the time, we take measurement of time, space and basic necessary
articles of our life.
At what time will your school start? At what time should you get up to go to
school? How long will it take you to reach your school? These questions are
related to time. What is the distance between Kolkata and Delhi? How far is
the school from your house? What is your height? To answer all these questions,
we need to measure length.

Whenever we buy vegetables, fruits, sugar, tea, rice, wheat, etc. from the market,
we measure mass. When we fall sick, the doctor measures our body temperature.
Whenever we buy milk, oil, etc., we measure by their volume. Thus,
measurement plays an important role in our daily life.

A clock used for measuring time

Measurements have an important role not only in physics but also in every branch
of science and everywhere in our day-to-day life. Measurement should be made
for knowing about the physical quantity. For example,
Imagine that you take a piece of cloth to a tailor for stitching a shirt.
What will the tailor do ?
He will first find ‘how much’ quantity of cloth is required to prepare a shirt for you.
To know how much quantity required is called measuring. The act of measuring the
quantity required is called measurement.
In the above example, the quantity measured by the tailor using a tape is length.
Quantity means size, amount, magnitude or simply stated as the answer for ‘how
much?’ or ‘how many?’
All measurements are based on comparison. In general, the thing to be
measured is compared with a constant quantity of the same nature as a
standard. This standard quantity is called standard unit.
“Measurement is the comparison of an unknown quantity with a known
constant quantity or unit.”
Physical Quantity: The quantities which are measurable are called physical
quantities.
Ex : Length, mass, time, speed, etc.
Note : Love, sadness, hatred, affection are not physical quantities because you
cannot measure them quantitatively.
The information about a physical quantity, by description of its external properties
like colour, taste etc. is incomplete with out knowing its temperature, size
(dimensions), which depends on measurement. i.e., with out measurements it is
impossible to know about the external properties of any object. So, it becomes
necessary to measure it. Thus Measurement is thus the comparison of an unknown
quantity with a known constant quantity.

CO - SPARK 5
 PHYSICS-CLASS-VI MEASUREMENT
This constant quantity which is used to measure the standard physical quantity
is called unit. Unit is a standard measure of any physical quantity.
Physical quantity = Numerical value x Unit
Measurement of the physical quantity
Measurement of the physical quantity involves two steps.
Step 1: Choose the standard value as a unit of measurement (unit)
Step 2: Find how many times that unit is contained in the given physical quantity
(Numerical Value)
Unit : In the early days, people used to measure length with the help of various
parts of a body, such as handspan, footspan , arm or cubit etc.,
Need for Standard Units of Measurement
Measuring any thing has always been a problem, may it be in the past or in
present. Mass was measured through various standards. Length was
measured by arm length, foot length, a footstep or a pace, a cubit (the
distance from elbow to the tip of the middle finger), handspan, and width of
four fingers etc. and similarly other quantities were also measured by using
different parameters.

ACTIVITY
Measuring the length with footsteps
Measure the length of your classroom with the help of your foot. Record the
length. Now ask four of your classmates to measure the same length by their
feet. Note down these measurements. You get five readings. Compare these
readings. Are they equal?. The answer is “no”. Why? Because the footle ngth of
each of you is different. Hence, foot length is not a reliable unit of length. However,
all these units are unreliable because parts of human body differ in length for
different people. This is clear from this following activity.

A student measures the length of the classroom by using footsteps.

Every one must have common units of measurement. For this purpose, scientists
have introduced some “STANDARD UNITS”.
STANDARD UNITS
A Standard unit has the following characteristics:
(i) A standard unit is of moderate size that can be conveniently used.
(ii) Space and time do not affect its values.

CO - SPARK 7
 PHYSICS-CLASS-VI MEASUREMENT
(iii) It is always possible to define it without any ambiguity or doubt.
(iv) It is not perishable
(v) It can be easily reproducible.
For example, Meter is the standard by which we can measure length, Second is the
standard by which we can measure time etc.,
Note: Magnitude of a physical quantity is constant (does not change with choice of
unit)
Magnitude of Physical Quantity(P) = Numerical value(N) × Unit(U)
System of Units : The scientists all over the world have developed basic set of
standard units for measuring various quantities. This set is also known as system
of units and named as Standard International System of Units or SI system.
The metric system for standard units was first adopted in France in 1791. In this
system metre-kilogram-second (MKS) were taken as base units. For measuring
smaller quantities centimetre-gram-second (CGS) were taken as base units.
(i) F.P.S system (Foot, Pound,Second)
(ii) C.G.S. system (Centimetre, Gram, Second)
(iii) M.K.S. system (Metre, Kilogram, Second)
Fundamental System of Units
Quantity FPS CGS MKS
Length Foot Centimeter Meter
Mass Pound Gram Kilogram
Time Second Second Second
In the year 1960, it was recommended by the General Conference of Weights and
Measures that a common system should be used all over the world. This
system was called SI system (International standard system of units). The SI
system has seven basic (fundamental) units. Before we discuss about SI system
we should know about Fundamental and Derived quantities.
Based upon the nature of dependence and independence, physical quantities are
classified into two types:
1) Fundamental quantities 2) Derived quantities
Fundamental quantities :
Physical quantities which are independent of other physical quantities are called
Fundamental or Base quantities.
Ex : Length, mass, time, temperature, electric current ........(see table)
Fundamental units :
Fundamental units are the units for measuring fundamental quantities. These
are independent of other units. These are also called basic units.
Ex: Unit of length - metre, Unit of mass - kilogram, Unit of time - second,

Note: At this stage the student should know them as fundamental quantities, the detailed
explanation will be done in those respective chapters.
Explore : What is Radian and Solid angle?
Derived quantities :
The physical quantities which are dependent on fundamental quantities are called
derived quantities. Ex : Area, volume,density etc.
Derived Units:
Units of derived physical quantities are called derived units.
Ex: The unit of speed is expressed by dividing the unit of distance by unit of time.
Hence speed is a derived quantity and the unit of speed =m/s.
SI units of some derived physical quantities are as follows:
Derived Physical
Measuring formula Derived unit
quantity
Area Length × breadth m × m = m2
Volume Length × breadth × height m × m × m = m3
Density Mass/volume kg/m3
Speed Distance/time m/s
Conventions for writing the symbols of units :
1. The symbol for a unit which is not named in the honour of some scientist is
written in lower letter.
Ex: The symbol for metre is ‘m’ for kilogram is ‘kg’ and for second as ‘s’.

CO - SPARK 9
 PHYSICS-CLASS-VI MEASUREMENT
2. The symbol for a unit which is named in the honour of some scientist is written
with initial capital letter.
Ex: The symbol for unit of force (newton) is N.
The symbol for unit of temperature (Celsius) is °C.
The symbol for unit of work (joule) is J.
The symbol for unit of power (watt) is W.
3. Full name of the unit named in the honour of scientist is written with lower
initial letter.
Ex: The full name for the unit of force is newton and not Newton.
The full name for the unit of power is watt and not Watt.
4. Negative powers are used for compound units obtained by dividing one unit with
another unit.
Ex: The unit of speed is m/s. It is expressed as ms–1.
5. A unit in short form is never written in plural.
Ex: 30 kilogram in short form is written as 30kg and not 30kgs.
