Seychellois units of measurement

Several units of measurement were used in Seychelles to measure quantities like, for example, capacity. The metric system has been compulsory in Seychelles (and adopted since 1880). Before metric adoption, old French, British and some additional units were used. (Wikipedia).

Trigonometry: Radians and Degrees

How do we measure angle? We measure distance with a ruler and use units like feet, meter, mile, and lightyear. We measure time using a clock and use units of seconds, days, or millennia, among others. With angle we could use a protractor and also use many units: the turn, gradians, degre

Momentum Does Not Have a Unit of Measurement - So Let's Make One! (Surprisingly Tricky)

Must we always write kg m/s? Why isn't there a more snappy unit of measurement for momentum? Hi everyone, I'm back with another video - this time discussing metrology! Metrology is the "science of measurement" and metrologists are the ones who decide what units of measurement we get to us
