Q. Which one of these is not a measuring instrument?
Answer : Picometer
Explanation: - A picometer is a unit of measurement of length. A picometer (pm) is a derived metric measurement unit of length. The metric unit prefix pico means one trillionth, or one (1) with eleven (11) nulls in front of it, i.e. 0.000,000,000,001 or 1×10-12. That makes one picometer equal to one trillionth of a meter.
- Hygrometer, an instrument used in meteorological science to measure the humidity or amount of water vapor in the air.
- A barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, also called barometric pressure.
- A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient (the degree of hotness or coldness of an object).
