The correct Answer is:
To find out how much 1 Newton (N) of force is in the given system of units where the unit of mass is 1 quintal, the unit of length is 1 kilometer, and the unit of time is 1 hour, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Force**: The dimensional formula for force is given by: \[ F = MLT^{-2} \] where \( M \) is mass, \( L \) is length, and \( T \) is time. 2. **Convert Newton to Base Units**: We know that: \[ 1 \, \text{N} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2} \] 3. **Convert Units**: We need to express kg, m, and s in terms of the new units: - 1 quintal = 100 kg, therefore: \[ 1 \, \text{kg} = \frac{1}{100} \, \text{quintals} \] - 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, therefore: \[ 1 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{1000} \, \text{km} \] - 1 hour = 3600 seconds, therefore: \[ 1 \, \text{s} = \frac{1}{3600} \, \text{hours} \] 4. **Substituting the Values**: Now substituting these conversions into the equation for Newton: \[ 1 \, \text{N} = \left(\frac{1}{100} \, \text{quintals}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{1000} \, \text{km}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600} \, \text{h}\right)^{-2} \] 5. **Simplifying the Expression**: This can be simplified as follows: \[ 1 \, \text{N} = \frac{1}{100} \cdot \frac{1}{1000} \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600^2}\right) \, \text{quintals} \cdot \text{km} \cdot \text{h}^{-2} \] \[ = \frac{1}{100 \cdot 1000} \cdot \frac{1}{3600^2} \, \text{quintals} \cdot \text{km} \cdot \text{h}^{-2} \] \[ = \frac{1}{10^5} \cdot \frac{1}{3600^2} \, \text{quintals} \cdot \text{km} \cdot \text{h}^{-2} \] 6. **Calculating the Numerical Value**: Now we calculate \( 3600^2 \): \[ 3600^2 = 12960000 \] Thus, we have: \[ 1 \, \text{N} = \frac{1}{10^5} \cdot \frac{1}{12960000} \, \text{quintals} \cdot \text{km} \cdot \text{h}^{-2} \] \[ = \frac{1}{1296000} \, \text{quintals} \cdot \text{km} \cdot \text{h}^{-2} \] 7. **Final Result**: Therefore, we can conclude that: \[ 1 \, \text{N} \approx 129.6 \, \text{quintals} \cdot \text{km} \cdot \text{h}^{-2} \]
