प्रश्न
Why do we have different units for the same physical quantity?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The value of any given physical quantity may vary over a wide range, therefore, different uns of the same physical quantity are required. e.g., The length of a pen can be easily measured in cm, the height of a tree can be measured in metres, the distance between two cities can be measured in kilometres and the distance between two heavenly bodies can be measured in light years.

What is the distance of the enemy submarine? (Speed of sound in water = 1450 m s–1).
