The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the unit of force, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Force**: - Force is defined as the interaction that changes the motion of an object. The formula for force is given by Newton's second law of motion: \[ F = m \cdot a \] where \( F \) is the force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration. 2. **Identifying Units**: - The SI unit of mass (m) is kilograms (kg). - The SI unit of acceleration (a) is meters per second squared (m/s²). 3. **Calculating the Unit of Force**: - By substituting the units of mass and acceleration into the force formula, we get: \[ F = kg \cdot \left( \frac{m}{s^2} \right) = kg \cdot m/s^2 \] - Therefore, the unit of force can be expressed as kilograms meters per second squared (kg·m/s²). 4. **Converting to Standard Unit**: - In physics, the unit of force is commonly referred to as the Newton (N). - Thus, 1 Newton is equivalent to 1 kg·m/s². 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - Option 1: Pascal (Pa) - This is a unit of pressure (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). - Option 2: Kelvin (K) - This is a unit of temperature. - Option 3: Newton (N) - This is the correct unit of force. - Option 4: Magdeburg - This is not a recognized unit of force. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is **Option 3: Newton**.
