Question

How many kilograms are there in one metric ton?

Answer 1

Units of Mass:

1. Mass is defined as the amount of matter present in a body.
2. The SI unit of mass is kilogram or $kg$.
3. A metric ton is a unit of mass.
4. This unit is generally used to refer to huge quantities of matter and is hence used for industrial purposes.
5. $1kg$ is also a unit of mass, therefore these two units are interconvertible.
6. $\therefore 1$ ton$=1000kg$

Hence, there are $1000$ kilograms in one metric ton.
