Q4 / 110 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Units and Dimensions

In a new system of units, the unit of force is 100 N, unit of length is 10 m and unit of time is 100 s. Unit of mass in this system can be expressed as

  • Correct answer
    A
    10 5  kg
  • B
    10 6  kg
  • C
    10 2  kg
  • D
    10 3  kg

Solution

Here, force (F) = [MLT–2] = 100 N             ...(i)

Length (L) = [L] = 10 m             ...(ii)

Time (t) = [T] = 100 s             ...(iii)

Substituting values of L and T from Equations. (ii) and (iii) in Equation. (i), we get

                   M × 10 × (100)–2 = 100

or                    M⁡ × 1 0 1 0 0 × 1 0 0 = 1 0 0

or                   M = 100 × 1000 kg

                    M= 10 5  kg

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
