"Daddy, My School Bag is Heavy": Easy guide to Units, Dimensions and Standards

By Ilango Sivaraman

Measurements are an integral part of our life - though we may not recognize it as such. We learn about units and measurements and communicate the same - even without recognizing its importance/ application. Like for example, babies are born after 10 months of waiting - Time measurement; The Weight of the newborn baby is measured- Weight Measurement. The growth is measured from thereon. The system of measurement almost lives with us throughout our life. Even in death - At what age a person passes away is a measurement.There are more involved measurements that exist - like Mass, Density, Speed, Velocity and Acceleration - And there are measurements that we almost take it for granted - Like Humidity or the heat index. and there are more.It is essential that we give the learning opportunity to our kids about basic and fundamental units and dimensions. This book gives a grounding of the principles of Units, Dimensions, and Standards so that they are able to understand the concepts. This initial reading will help them to understand and focus on the units and standards of higher learnings in Physics and other technical subjects.The motivation to write on this topic came from the embarrassing situation I faced due to the lack of this specific knowledge in my younger days - Hope the younger generation getting the opportunity to read the book learn to be aware also of the practical applications of Units and Standards.
