Physical World And Measurement MCQs

Physical-world and measurement is understanding the fundamental forces and other physical parameters. There are four fundamental forces and they are:

• Gravitational force
• Nuclear force
• Weak force
• Electromagnetic force

The physical parameters also known as physical quantities are used for expressing all the laws of Physics. These quantities are

• Fundamental quantities
• Derived quantities

The above-mentioned quantities are expressed using the system of units and they are:

• MKS (metre, kilogram, second)
• CGS (centimetre, gram, second)
• FPS (foot, pound, second)
• SI (International System of Units
