If the unit of force ware kilonewton, that of time millisecond and that of power kilowatt, what would be the units of mass and length?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`1kg ; 10^(-3)`

Here,`F = M^1 L^1 T^(-2) =1kN = 1000N …..(i)`
`T = T^1 = 1 ms = 10^(-3)s …(ii)`
`P = ML^2 T^(-3) =1 kW = 1000W …….(iii)`
`(F)/(T) = M^1 L^1 T^(-3) = (1000)/(10^(-3)) = 10^6 Ns^(-1) ….(iv)`
Divide (iii) by (iv)
`(ML^2T^(-3))/(MLT^(-3)) = (1000)/(10^6) = 10^(-3) or L = 10^(-3)m`
Put values of L & T in (i)
`M(10^(-3))(10^(-3))^(-2) = 10^3`
:. M =1kg
