In a system of units, the units of mass, length and time are 1 quintal, 1 km and 1 h respectively. In this system 1 N force will be equal to
Correct Answer :
129.6 new units
Solution :
Correct Answer: Option 2 (129.6 new units)
To convert a physical quantity from one system of units to another, we use the method of dimensional analysis.
The dimensional formula for force () is given by:
Here, the exponents are:
(for mass)
(for length)
(for time)
Let the SI system be represented as system 1, and the new system of units be represented as system 2.
For the SI system (System 1):
Numerical value,
Unit of mass,
Unit of length,
Unit of time,
For the new system (System 2):
Unit of mass,
Unit of length,
Unit of time,
The relationship between the numerical values in two systems of units is given by:
Substituting the values:
Simplifying the expression:
Therefore, 1 N force is equal to 129.6 new units in this system of units.
