How was the length of the standard meter defined defined in the year 1791?
The metre was originally intended to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the north pole running through Paris (making the distance from the equator to the north pole 10,000 km and the circumference of the earth 40,000 km [round that great circle]). It has since been redefined
How was a meter defined in 1791?
In the eighteenth century, there were two favoured approaches to the definition of the meter. One approach suggested that the metre be defined as the length of a 'seconds pendulum' (pendulum with a half-period of one second). Another suggestion was defining the metre as one ten-millionth of the length of the Earth's meridian along a quadrant (the distance from the Equator to the North Pole).In 1791, the French Academy of Sciences selected the latter definition (the one related to Earth's meridian) over the former (the one with the pendulum) because the force of gravity varies slightly over the surface of the Earth's surface, which affects the period of a pendulum.
