What problems could occur if there were not an International System of Units?

If there was not International System of Units, then scientists would not be able to correctly communicate their ideas around the world, let alone test it.
If a scientist records his findings in one unit, it would be hard for another scientist to test it in another unit.
Thus, ideas would not be spread, and would be hard for scientists around the world to communicate ideas, hypotheses, theories, and whatnot.

What would you call 0.1 meter in international system of units?
You could call it 100 mm or 10 cm. But it is really called a decimeter
What is metric system prefix for the quantity 0.000004?
It could be 4 micro-[units].
Why is area derived unit?
In the SI, the square meter is derived from the meter (meter x meter). But in general, which units are derived and which are base units really depends on the system of measurement chosen. You could define a unit of area as a base unit, and derive a length as the square root of that - although I don't think any serious system of units has actually done that so far.
Common base units of measurement?
If you're seeing this in the instructions for a homework problem or exam question, it basically means "120 is NOT an answer; you need to write 120 grams, or 120 moles, or 120 buckets of rotten fish, or whatever the actual units are ... not just a numeric value ... to get credit."You may be able to rules lawyer your teacher into giving you credit anyway, depending on how the question was phrased. If it asks "How many grams of..." then it could be argued that "2.46" is a perfectly legitimate response. If the question was "How much..." then you'd need to include the units: "2.46 g".
What kind of difficulties do you think might arise if the US immediately eliminated all units of the English system and replaced them with the units from the metric system?
It would be impossibly hard but it could be done. Just like Australia did it, literally overnight. and they changed their pounds and shilllings to dollars and cents overnight, too. They just said...we are changing ..here's the info, learn it.
What problems could occur if their were not an international system of units?
Well the bacteria of systoriform will destroy the inner most parts of the diglicceride plant in Sicily, Italy. It will disrupt are main function unit in siria and babolo, Goergia. All together the system annalysis project for forroxide decipint will fail.

What problems could occur if some scientists measured objects by using SI units and other scientists measured objects by using other units?
No problems provided they state which units. Most scientists are capable of converting between units.
What does the term metric mean?
A metric is whatever you use to numerically evaluate a variable - for sales the metric could be number of units sold, for politicians it could be poll results and for the Olympics it could be gold medals won. In many cases, however, the term "metric" is the common term used for the International System of Units (abbreviated SI from French: Le Système international d'unités) of weights and measures based on the gram, meter and second.
Name two problems a refrigeration system may have?
Two problems that a refrigeration system could have are compressor problems or a lack of or loss of refrigerant gas.
What is metric system prefix for the quantity 0.000004?
It could be 4 micro-[units].
What problem could occur if the international system of unites were not used?
Yea
How do you explain importance of standard units?
Standard units are used for measurements. it is taken as a fundamental unit.
Definiton of Customary Unit?
A Customary Unit or non-SI unit is a measurement unit that is not part of the metric system. Customary units are mainly units of the Imperial system but they could be localised customary units - such as Gaj (for area) is South Asia.
What problems could occur if some scientists measured objects by using si units and other scientists measured objects by using other units such as inches?
The answer would be different

How system international came to be?
centuries ago dozens of different units of measurements were unit through out the world.So there was a lot of confusion and inefficiencies in trade between countries. At the end of the 18th century, the french government sought to alleviate this problem by devising a system of measurement that could be used throughout the world. In 1790 the French national assembly commissioned the Academy of science to design a simple decimal based system of units; this was called the metric system. In 1960 the metric system was officially named the Systeme international d'Unite's(SI for short)and now is used in nearly every country.It is almost always used in scientific measurements
