STANDARD Physics System of Units MCQ 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 equal to
0.1 N
1 N
10 N
100 N
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
1 newton = 1 kg m/s². In the given system, 1 kg = 10³ g and 1 m = 10² cm. Therefore, 1 N = 10 × New unit of force. Thus, New unit = 1/10 = 0.1 N.
