The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Frictional force can't be measured in", we need to analyze the options provided and determine which one does not represent a unit of force. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Frictional Force**: - Frictional force is a force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. The formula for frictional force (F_friction) is given by: \[ F_{\text{friction}} = \mu \cdot N \] where \( \mu \) is the coefficient of friction and \( N \) is the normal force. 2. **Identifying Units of Force**: - The SI unit of force is the Newton (N). - In the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system, the unit of force is the dyne. - Weight can also be expressed in terms of force, specifically in kg-weight (where weight = mass × gravitational acceleration). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: kg weight**: This is a unit of force (specifically, the weight of a mass in a gravitational field). - **Option 2: Newton**: This is the standard SI unit of force. - **Option 3: dyne**: This is a unit of force in the CGS system. - **Option 4: kg meter per second**: This expression does not represent a unit of force. Instead, it resembles a unit of momentum (mass × velocity). 4. **Conclusion**: - Since frictional force is a type of force, it can be measured in kg weight, Newton, or dyne. However, it cannot be measured in kg meter per second, as this is not a unit of force but rather a unit of momentum. ### Final Answer: Frictional force can't be measured in **kg meter per second** (Option 4). ---
