1. By the eighteenth century, dozens of different units of measurement were commonly used throughout the world.

2. Length could be measured in feet, inches, miles, spans, cubits, hands and more.

3. In 1779, the French National Assembly commissioned the Academy of Science to design a simple decimal-based system of units.

4. The most common base units in the metric system are the meter, gram, and liter.

5. The liter is a unit of length.

13. density – густина

14. inductance – індуктивність

15. lumen – люмен(одиниця світлового потоку)

16. lux – люкс(одиниця освітленості)

17. luminance – яскравість

II Read and translate the following text:

International system of units

All systems of weights and measures, metric and non-metric are linked through a network of international agreements supporting the International System of Units. The key agreement in the sphere of international measurements is the Meter Convention signed in Paris on May 20, 1875. 48 nations have signed this treaty, including all the major industrialized countries. The United States is a charter member of this metric club.

The International System is maintained by a small agency in Paris, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and it is updated every four years by the General Conference of Weights and Measures (CGPM), attended by representatives of all the industrial countries and international scientific and engineering organizations. The 23rd CGPM met in 2007. The next meetings will be in 2011, 2015. At the heart of the International System is a short list of units. There are seven base units:

Si Base Units

Physical Quantity

Name of Unit

Symbol

length

meter

m

mass

kilogram

kg

time

second

s

temperature

kelvin

K

electric current

ampere

D

amount of substance

mole

mol

luminous intensity

candela

cd

Other international units are called derived units. There are 22 derived units:

  • the radian and steradian for plane and solid angles;

  • the Newton for force and the Pascal for pressure;

  • the joule for energy and the watt for power;

  • the degree Celsius for everyday measurement of temperature;

  • units for measurement of electricity: the coulomb (charge), Volt (potential), farad (capacitance), Ohm (resistance), and siemens (conductance);

  • units for measurement of magnetism: the Weber (flux), Tesla (flux density), and Henry (inductance);

  • the lumen for flux of light and the lux for luminance;

  • the hertz for frequency of regular events and the Becquerel for rates of radioactivity;

  • the katal, a unit of catalytic activity used in biochemistry.

Each international unit is represented by a symbol. The use of unit symbols is regulated by precise rules. These symbols are the same in every language of the world. However, the names of the units themselves vary in spelling according to national conventions. Therefore, it is correct for Americans to write meter and Germans to write Meter, and it is also correct for the British to write metre, Italians to write metro, and Poles to write metr.

III Answer the questions:

1.What is the key agreement in the sphere of international measurements?

2.What base units do you know ?

3. What derived units do you know?

4. How is each unit represented?

5. What is Meter Convention?

1. physical quantity a. потік

2. maintain b. температура

3. density c. Ампер

4. inductance d. бюро

5. flux e. супротив

6. charge f. фізична величина

7. Ampere g. утримувати

1. The International System is maintained by a small agency in Poland.

2. The use of unit symbols is regulated by the international rules.

3. The 23rd CGPM met in 2007.

4. Each SI unit is represented by a symbol.

5. The next General Conference will be in 2015.

VIII Translate into English:

1. Всі метричні і не метричні системи вимірювання пов’язані між собою міжнародними угодами.

2. Метр – це одиниця вимірювання відстані.

3. Основними одиницями вимірювання є: метр, кілограм, секунда.
