The correct Answer is:
To find the MKS units for each of the given quantities, we will analyze each one step by step. ### Step 1: Young's Modulus Young's modulus (Y) is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. 1. **Stress** is defined as force per unit area. In MKS units, force is measured in Newtons (N) and area in square meters (m²). \[ \text{Stress} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2} \] 2. **Strain** is a dimensionless quantity (it is the ratio of change in length to original length), so it has no units. 3. Therefore, Young's modulus can be expressed as: \[ Y = \frac{\text{Stress}}{\text{Strain}} = \frac{\text{N/m}^2}{1} = \text{N/m}^2 \] 4. In MKS units, 1 N/m² is also known as 1 Pascal (Pa). Thus, the MKS unit for Young's modulus is: \[ \text{MKS unit of Young's modulus} = \text{Pa} \text{ (Pascal)} \] ### Step 2: Magnetic Induction Magnetic induction (B), also known as magnetic flux density, can be derived from the Lorentz force equation. 1. The force (F) on a charge (q) moving with a velocity (v) in a magnetic field (B) is given by: \[ F = qvB \] 2. Rearranging this gives: \[ B = \frac{F}{qv} \] 3. In MKS units: - Force (F) is in Newtons (N) - Charge (q) is in Coulombs (C) - Velocity (v) is in meters per second (m/s) 4. Therefore, the unit of magnetic induction (B) can be expressed as: \[ B = \frac{\text{N}}{\text{C} \cdot \text{m/s}} = \frac{\text{N} \cdot \text{s}}{\text{C} \cdot \text{m}} \] 5. The unit of magnetic induction is also known as Tesla (T). Thus, the MKS unit for magnetic induction is: \[ \text{MKS unit of magnetic induction} = \text{T} \text{ (Tesla)} \] ### Step 3: Power of a Lens The power (P) of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length (f). 1. The formula for the power of a lens is: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} \] 2. The focal length (f) is measured in meters (m). Therefore, the unit of power of a lens can be expressed as: \[ P = \frac{1}{\text{m}} \] 3. The unit of power of a lens is also known as diopter (D). Thus, the MKS unit for the power of a lens is: \[ \text{MKS unit of power of a lens} = \text{D} \text{ (Diopter)} \] ### Summary of MKS Units - Young's Modulus: **Pascal (Pa)** - Magnetic Induction: **Tesla (T)** - Power of a Lens: **Diopter (D)**

To find the MKS units for each of the given quantities, we will analyze each one step by step. ### Step 1: Young's Modulus Young's modulus (Y) is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. 1. **Stress** is defined as force per unit area. In MKS units, force is measured in Newtons (N) and area in square meters (m²). \[ \text{Stress} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2} ...
