1.Units, Dimensions and Measurement
hard
If the units of force, energy and velocity are respectively $10\, N, 100\, J, 5\, m/s$, then the units of length, mass and time will be
A$10\, m, 5 \,kg, 1\, sec$
B$10\, m, 4 \,kg, 2\, sec$
C$10\, m, 4 \,kg, 0.5\, sec$
D$20\, m, 5 \,kg, 2\, sec$
Solution
The Dimensional formulae of
force $=\left[\mathrm{ML} T^{-2}\right]$
energy $=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]$
velocity $=\left[\mathrm{L} T^{-1}\right]$
Thus We have
$\left[\mathrm{ML} T^{-2}\right]=10 \mathrm{N} \ldots \ldots . .(\mathrm{i})$
$\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]=100 \mathrm{J} \ldots . .(\mathrm{ii})$
$[\mathrm{LT}-1]=5 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \ldots \ldots .$ (iii)
and
Dividing equation (ii) by eq.(i) ,we have
$[\mathrm{L}]=100 \mathrm{J} / 1 \mathrm{0N}=10 \mathrm{0Nm} / 1 \mathrm{0N}=1 \mathrm{0m}$
Substituting the unit of $[\mathrm{L}]$ in eq. (iii) $,$ we have
$[\mathrm{T}]=10 \mathrm{m} / 5 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}=2 \mathrm{s}$
Substituting the units of $[\mathrm{L}]$ and $[\mathrm{T}]$ in eq.( i) we have
$[\mathrm{M}]=10 \mathrm{N} /[\mathrm{L}]\left[\mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]=10 \mathrm{N} \times 4 \mathrm{s}^{2} / 10 \mathrm{m}=4 \mathrm{kg}$
force $=\left[\mathrm{ML} T^{-2}\right]$
energy $=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]$
velocity $=\left[\mathrm{L} T^{-1}\right]$
Thus We have
$\left[\mathrm{ML} T^{-2}\right]=10 \mathrm{N} \ldots \ldots . .(\mathrm{i})$
$\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]=100 \mathrm{J} \ldots . .(\mathrm{ii})$
$[\mathrm{LT}-1]=5 \mathrm{ms}^{-1} \ldots \ldots .$ (iii)
and
Dividing equation (ii) by eq.(i) ,we have
$[\mathrm{L}]=100 \mathrm{J} / 1 \mathrm{0N}=10 \mathrm{0Nm} / 1 \mathrm{0N}=1 \mathrm{0m}$
Substituting the unit of $[\mathrm{L}]$ in eq. (iii) $,$ we have
$[\mathrm{T}]=10 \mathrm{m} / 5 \mathrm{ms}^{-1}=2 \mathrm{s}$
Substituting the units of $[\mathrm{L}]$ and $[\mathrm{T}]$ in eq.( i) we have
$[\mathrm{M}]=10 \mathrm{N} /[\mathrm{L}]\left[\mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]=10 \mathrm{N} \times 4 \mathrm{s}^{2} / 10 \mathrm{m}=4 \mathrm{kg}$
