Question : In a system of units, the units of mass, length and time are 1 quintal, 1 km and 1 hour respectively. In this system 1 N force will be equal to
a) 1 New Units
b) 129.6 New Units
c) 125.7 New Units
d) 10^3 New Units
Doubt by Saniya
Solution :
Dimensional Formula of Force = [MLT-2]
a=1, b=1, c=-2
a=1, b=1, c=-2
Here
n1 = 1
M1 = 1 kg
L1 = 1 m
T1 = 1 sec
n2=?
M2 = 1 quintal = 100 kg
L2 = 1 km = 1000 m
T2 = 1 hour = 3600 sec
n2=n1[M1/M2]a[L1/L2]b[T1/T2]c
n2=1[1/100]1[1/1000]1[1/3600]-2
n2=(1/100)(1/1000)(3600)2
n2=(1/100000)(3600)2
n2=(12960000/100000)
n2=129.6
So, 1 N = 129.6 New Units
Hence, b) 129.6 is correct.
