Question

Why can't a pace or a footstep be used as a measurement unit?

Answer 1

Measurement:

1. The comparison of an unknown amount with a known quantity is referred to as measurement.
2. Because each person's speed or footstep is different, the distances measured by two separate people using their footsteps will not be the same. As a result, a pace or a footstep cannot be used as a conventional unit of measurement. Varying people have different footstep lengths, forearm lengths, and hand spans.
3. Because standard units must be comparable in all parts of the world and under all situations. It should not be reliant on bodily components or natural occurrences. As a result, the use of footsteps or other similar measurement techniques as a standard unit is not possible.
