The universal standard for kilogram still stands in Paris. Copies have been made of the standard and every country has a duplicate of the kilogram for all the measuremeants. The copies are checked once in a few years to check if they are still accurate.

Why is it important that scientists in different countries check their ways of measuring a KG against the same standard mass?

When someone describes something as having a mass of one kilogram, it is important that everyone else understands what one kilogram is. Therefore there has to be an agreed definition of a kilogram. This means there has to be a standard kilogram that everyone can use to set their own kilogram. At present the standard kilogram is a block of platinum held in Paris, there are plans to redefine the kilogram in terms of the reaction between a fixed magnet and the magnetic field set up by an electric current passing through a wire, the kilogram will still weigh the same but the means of setting it will change.

What is 94 kilograms?

94 kilogram is the weight or the mass of something . A Kilogram is a standard unit of weight measurement, which is used by almost every country in the western world . The original or 'Standard' Kilogram is kept in Paris in a specially controlled atmosphere, and is made from a material which will never corrode or change its mass. All the copies of that Kilogram, are also kept in a controlled place in other countries. They are legally certified to be extremely accurate copies of the one in Paris. Australia has a Weights & Measures Department which checks and controls the accuracy of the measuring instruments made by manufacturers. This ensures that no matter where you are in the world, you will always know with confidence that quantities are all measured the same way and have the exact same size.
