The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Pascal is the unit for," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the definition of Pascal in the context of physics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the term "Pascal":** - Pascal is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI) that measures pressure. 2. **Analyzing the options:** - **Option 1: Pressure** - This is a potential candidate since Pascal is known to be associated with pressure. - **Option 2: Thrust** - Thrust is a force, and the unit for force is Newton (N), not Pascal. - **Option 3: Buoyant force** - Buoyant force is also a type of force, measured in Newtons, not in Pascals. - **Option 4: None of these** - This option suggests that Pascal is not related to any of the above, which we suspect is incorrect. 3. **Defining Pascal:** - 1 Pascal (Pa) is defined as one Newton (N) of force applied over an area of one square meter (m²). Therefore, it can be expressed mathematically as: \[ 1 \, \text{Pa} = 1 \, \text{N/m}^2 \] 4. **Conclusion:** - Since Pascal is defined as a unit of pressure, the correct answer to the question is **Option 1: Pressure**. ### Final Answer: Pascal is the unit for **Pressure**.

Suppose two students are trying to make a new measurement system so that they can use it like a code measurement system and others do not understands it. Instead of taking 1kg, 1m and 1 sec, as basic unit they took unit of mass as alpha kg , the unit of length as beta m and unit of times as gamma second. They called power in new system as ACME then match the two columns. {:(,"Column-I",,"Column-II"),((a),"1N in new system",(p),alpha^(-1) beta^(-2) gamma^(2)),((b),"1J in new system",(q),alpha^(-1) beta^(-1) gamma^(2)),((c),"1 pascal (SI unit of pressure) in new system",(r),alpha^(-1)beta gamma^(2)),((d),alpha "ACME in watt",(s),alpha^(2) beta^(2) gamma^(-3)):}
