Knowing the local acceleration of gravity, a scale can be used to measure the mass of
an elephant. After the measurement has been accomplished and the results obtained,
the mass may be recorded, described, and reported to others in any unit of mass. Some
units will result in numbers that are inconveniently large or small, and therefore difficult
to write, report, and remember. In the case of an elephant, the most convenient unit will
most likely turn out to be either the kilogram or the metric ton.
