physical quantity,

measurement
of other
physical quantities.
'Jr International Office of Weights
& Measures is located at Sevres
near Paris in France.
!t' One metre is the length of the
path travelled by light in
vaccum during a time interval
of 1/299792458 of a second.
(POne kilogram is the mass of a
particular I cylinder
of
platinum- Iridium alloy, kept at
Sevres, near Paris in France.
A second is the time taken for
9192631770 vibrations
of
cesium atoms which act likea
pendulum in the atomic clock.
This atomic clock works on
energy changes in gaseous
caesium atoms.

average
period between
successive transits of the Sun
across the meridian, taken
over 12 months, at any part of
the.earth's surface.
