Standard deviation has the same unit as the data set unit.

The answer depends on the individual measurement in question as well as the mean and standard deviation of the data set.
The formula for standard deviation has both a square (which is a power of 2) and a square-root (a power of 1/2). Both must be there to balance each other, to keep the standard deviation value's magnitude similar to (having the same units as) the sample numbers from which it's calculated. If either is removed from the formula, the resulting standard deviation value will have different units, reducing its usefulness as a meaningful statistic.
Standard units are used for measurmen as there is a system called the SI units and that is considered as the international system of units that is why we use standard units for measurment .
Information is not sufficient to find mean deviation and standard deviation.
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
