Why is it sometimes better to measure an object with an inch ruler than with a nonstandard unit?
Ayeeitzzily
Because other people may have no idea how big the non-standard unit is. If I said than my monitor was six fingers tall, how big is that?
It is, of course, better to use an international standard unit such as the centimetre or metre, but some countries are still stuck with inches.

Is it true weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object?
mass is how much weight an object has so mass (N) measures how much weight (G) an object has
