Preface
The curriculum and curricular materials have been developed and revised on a
regular basis with the aim of making education purposeful, practical, relevant and
job-oriented. It is necessary to instill the feeling of nationalism, national integrity
and democratic spirit in students and equip them with morality, discipline and selfreliance so as to develop in them social and personal skills as well as the basic
competencies of language, science, occupation, information and communication
technology, environment and health, and life skills. It is also necessary to enable
them to appreciate, preserve and promote arts and aesthetics, social norms and values and ideals. Moreover, in order to develop an equitable society, it is necessary
to inculcate students with respect for ethnicity, gender, disabilities, languages, religions, cultures and regional diversity. Likewise, education should also help them
to be well-informed of human rights and social norms and values so as to make
them capable of playing the role of responsible citizens. This textbook has been

Measurement
Measurement plays an important role in our everyday life. A good
measurement is essential for every action we perform. For example, a
tailor measures our body and body parts for the better fitting of clothes.
Similarly liquid commodities such as oil, milk, etc are measured
with the standard measuring vessels to get their exact volume for
their marketing purposes or so. Land is sold or purchased by its area
measurement. The body temperature of a patient is measured with the
help of a thermometer. In the same way we need to know the proper
measurements of different aspects of the objects such as the length,
area, volume, or the weight of a solid etc, to run our daily life smoothly.
The physical quantity refers to the measurements of the mass,
length, area and volume of an object.
We need different instruments to measure various physical quantities.
Diagrams of some measuring devices are given below.

Long time back, before the existence of the bureau of measurement
in our country, people used to measure the length with the help of
the individual's arm length, which naturally differs from individual
to individual. The smaller demunitive length is measured in "Bitta",
etc. These measurements simply give the approximate idea of
measurement of length. The grains and volume of the liquid is
measured in terms of mana, pathi, muri, etc in some areas. Though the
bureau of Nepal government's standardized measurements of manna,
pathi, or dharnee is reliable, this system is not followed all over the
country. In Terai region, another system as maund, ser (tola), chhatak,
etc was in common use. It is quite difficult to relate different systems
