Here's why:
* Torque: Torque is a rotational force. It measures how much a force tends to rotate an object around a specific axis.
* Mass: Mass is a fundamental property of matter that represents its resistance to acceleration.
Units for Measuring Mass:
* Kilogram (kg): The standard unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI).
* Gram (g): A smaller unit of mass, 1000 grams equal 1 kilogram.
Units for Measuring Torque:
* Newton-meter (Nm): The standard unit of torque in the SI system.
Measuring Mass:
To measure the mass of an object, you would use a device like a:
* Scale: A balance that compares the object's weight to known masses.
* Balance: A device that compares the object's mass to a known mass.
