Established in 1960 by the international agreement, the "Metric System" is the international standard of measurement.
because it is.
a unit of measurement
You can use a simple pendulum, measure how long one period takes, then use the formula for a pendulum, and solve for gravitational acceleration.
The pendulum is not a reliable time standard mostly because of friction and gravity. To be a reliable time standard, a pendulum would need to form a continuous arc that did not deviate over time. Gravity is always trying to get the pendulum to stop and friction causes the pendulum's fulcrum to resit continued movement. Eventually, a pendulum will stop moving and remain stationary unless acted upon by an external force.

The standard measurement of bedding is in inches.
6 millimetres is standard measurement!

what is the advantage of potassium iodate as aprimary standard
There are 8 pints in a gallon in 'standard liquid measurement'.
It's not "superior" ... but it is the agreed on system for almost all the world - thus it's advantage is consistency.
The pendulum clock was the most accurate clock of its time. A disadvantage was that if in the sun too long it would heat up the pendulum and it would change the speed of it.
standard. Because i can feel it.
