How is meter scale designed and what is it subunits? Where it is preserved?
Answer»
In France, it was decided that a certain length of rod made of a special material (Platinum-Iridium) would be called a meter.
The meter was divided into 100 equal parts called centimeters.
Each centimeter was further divided into ten equal parts called millimeters.
Now we are using this as a standard measurement for length throughout the world.
This original scale is preserved in a museum in France.
