The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is a unit of force, we will analyze each option based on our knowledge of the units of force. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the SI Unit of Force**: - The SI unit of force is the Newton (N). 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option 1: Newton meter (N·m)** - This unit represents torque or work done (force multiplied by distance). Therefore, it is not a unit of force. - **Option 2: Milli Newton (mN)** - A milli Newton is equal to \(1 \times 10^{-3}\) Newtons. Since it is a smaller unit of Newton, it is indeed a unit of force. This option is correct. - **Option 3: Newton meter square (N·m²)** - This unit represents the moment of inertia or other quantities involving force and area. It is not a unit of force. - **Option 4: Newton second (N·s)** - This unit represents impulse (force multiplied by time). Therefore, it is not a unit of force. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only option that is a unit of force is **Option 2: Milli Newton (mN)**. ### Final Answer: The unit of force among the given options is **Milli Newton (mN)**.
