Give two examples of common units for measurements?

Answer 1

These must be units which are neither in the foot-pound system or the SI system. Mostly these are obsolete units but in some out of the way countries old units may still be used, and sometimes old customs persist. For example in Germany people still ask for a 'pfund' by which they mean a half kilo, which is slightly more than a pound in weight.

Answer 2

Millimeters, which are one tenth of a centimeter or one thousandth of a meter. There is also milligram, which is one thousandth of a gram. A milliliter is very small, too, one thousandth of a liter.

Answer 3

United States customary units are a system of measurements commonly used in the United States.

Length = foot

Area = square foot

Volume = cubic foot

Mass = pound

Temperature = degrees Fahrenheit

Other common ways of referring to the system in the U.S. are: "Standard", "Customary", or, erroneously: "Imperial", or "English" (which refers to the pre-1824 reform measures used throughout the British Empire). Another term is the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, as opposed to centimeter-gram-second(CGS) and meter-kilogram-second(MKS) systems.

Answer 4

That refers to the units people tend to use. In the United States, those would be units such as inches and feet, pounds, etc.; outside the United States, to a great extent, the customary units are the SI units - with some exceptions, for example, it is customary to use days instead of seconds, and degrees Celsius instead of kelvin.

Answer 5

Some units include the "hand" (horses) and the "span" (great span) originally equal to half of a Roman cubit.

Answer 6

Feet, inches, miles, and yards are all non metric units of measure.

Answer 7

business between countries would be difficult

Answer 8

There are many different units of measurement. A foot is a standard unit of measurement for length. A cubic meter is a metric measurement of volume.

Answer 9

forehand thermometer non contact measurement

A thermometer is an instrument, not a unit.

Answer 10

a centimeter, an inch, a foot, a yard, etc.
