In a particular system, the units of length, mass and time

Home » Physics » Physics miscellaneous » Question

In a particular system, the units of length, mass and time are chosen to be 10 cm, 10 g and 0.1 s respectively. The unit of force in this system will be equivalent to

1. 0.1 N
2. 1 N
3. 10 N
4. 100 N

Correct Option: A

n₂ = n₁		M₁			L₁			T₁		^-2
		M₂			L₂			T₂

= 1		10³g			10²cm			1s		^-2
		10g			10cm			0.1s

= 10
Thus if the new unit of force is
10 X = 1 N or X = 0.1
