Can any quantity such as mass length or volume be measured exactly?

It is according to the measurement markings on the instrument. If there are many, it is more likely to be exact or accurate. Also it depends on if you started on the very center of the very first marking, and did not move the instrument while measuring. So, the answer is ... yes.

∙ 13y agoNO !!! You cannot measure the quantities exactly-------see discussion for further explaination but this is the correct answer (no).
Any measurement of anything has an inevitable error; the absolute exactitude cannot exist. All measurements has an uncertainty.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo. If you want to be precise, every measurement should include a tolerance, such as 15.5 +/- 0.1 cm. This way, when you do the calculations, you can figure out the uncertainty in the final result.

Is volume fundamental or derived quantity?
Volume is derived, from length.
Which of the following is dimensionless quantity a. stress b. strain c. momentum d. force?
Strain is dimensionless quantity because strain is the ratio of the same quantities like change in length/original length,,change in volume/original volume. e.g tensile strain=(change in length)/(original length)=m/m (S.I unit) so its a dimensionless quantity.
What is difference between base quantity and derived quantity?
Base quantities (Scalar Quantities) :Independent quantities who have single standard units.- time /seconds-distance/metersDerived Quantities (Vector Quantities):Quantities derived by multiplying or dividing 2 base quantities.- Velocity = distance/timeunit of Velocity = m/s
What do you mean by the term quantity?

Which tools measure length volume and mass and their units?
-- Length is measured by rulers; they are often wood. -- Volume is measured by measuring cups; they are usually glass. -- Mass is most often measured by a laboratory balance; they are metal.
Quantity of a gas is measured in?
Gas can be measured by volume (in litres), by mass (in grams/kilograms etc or, in chemistry a mole).

it is measured by using length times width times height
How many centimeters are in milliltier?
Sorry, your question is not valid as centimeters is a unit of length and milliliters of volume. If you mean cubic centimeters, one of these is exactly the same quantity as one milliliter.
What is a solid's shape and volume?
A solid is a 3 dimensional object having length, width and height. Its volume measured in cubic units is length*width*height
How many cc in 80 inches?
Actually none! Why? "cc" measures the quantity in volume while "inches" measures the quantity in length. You can't convert "length" units to "volume" units since they are not related to another.
