Automobile Curb Weight Measurement

Curb Weight Measurement

• Curb Weight:

  • Definition: The weight of an automobile with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables (e.g., fuel, oil, coolant), and ready for operation.

• Appropriate Unit of Mass:

  • Kilograms (kg) are the most appropriate unit for measuring the curb weight of an automobile.
  • Grams, liters, and milligrams are not suitable:
    • Grams (g) are too small.
    • Liters (L) measure volume, not mass.
    • Milligrams (mg) are extremely small and impractical.
