The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is the basic unit of measuring temperature? In the International System (IS), it's the Kelvin scale. Another scale, called the Celsius scale, is used throughout much of the world. In the United States, the Fahrenheit scale is common used.
What are some devices used to measure temperature? Glass thermometer, thermocouples, thermistors, resistor temperature detectors (RTDs), and infrared (IR) thermometers.
What are some measurement units for force? Internationally, the Newton is the unit for force. In the United States, it's more common to measure force in "pounds-force."
How is torque determined? Amount of force x distance of applied force from the axis of rotation.
How is viscosity measured? In various ways, including measuring the torque of a paddle twisting in a fluid; measuring how fast a fluid pours through a hole; using a spring to push a rod into a fluid; and measuring how fast a sphere falls through a fluid.
