The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the unit of time in seconds given the units of power, force, and length. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Units**: - Power (P) = 1 million erg/minute = \(10^6\) erg/minute - Force (F) = 1000 dyne - Length (L) = \( \frac{5}{3} \) cm 2. **Convert Units to Standard SI Units**: - 1 erg = \(10^{-7}\) joules - 1 dyne = \(10^{-5}\) newtons - 1 cm = \(10^{-2}\) meters - Convert power to joules per second: \[ P = 10^6 \text{ erg/minute} = 10^6 \times 10^{-7} \text{ J/minute} = 10^{-1} \text{ J/minute} \] Since 1 minute = 60 seconds: \[ P = \frac{10^{-1}}{60} \text{ J/s} = \frac{10^{-1}}{60} \text{ W} \] 3. **Calculate the Energy in Terms of Force and Length**: - The formula for power is: \[ P = \frac{F \cdot L}{t} \] - Rearranging for time (t): \[ t = \frac{F \cdot L}{P} \] 4. **Substitute the Values**: - Convert force and length: \[ F = 1000 \text{ dyne} = 1000 \times 10^{-5} \text{ N} = 10^{-2} \text{ N} \] \[ L = \frac{5}{3} \text{ cm} = \frac{5}{3} \times 10^{-2} \text{ m} \] - Substitute into the equation for time: \[ t = \frac{(10^{-2} \text{ N}) \cdot \left(\frac{5}{3} \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}\right)}{\frac{10^{-1}}{60} \text{ W}} \] \[ = \frac{10^{-2} \cdot \frac{5}{3} \cdot 10^{-2}}{\frac{10^{-1}}{60}} \] 5. **Simplify the Expression**: - The numerator becomes: \[ 10^{-2} \cdot \frac{5}{3} \cdot 10^{-2} = \frac{5 \cdot 10^{-4}}{3} \] - The denominator becomes: \[ \frac{10^{-1}}{60} = \frac{60 \cdot 10^{-1}}{1} \] - Therefore: \[ t = \frac{\frac{5 \cdot 10^{-4}}{3}}{\frac{10^{-1}}{60}} = \frac{5 \cdot 10^{-4} \cdot 60}{3 \cdot 10^{-1}} = \frac{5 \cdot 60}{3} \cdot 10^{-3} = 100 \cdot 10^{-3} = 10^{-1} \text{ seconds} \] 6. **Final Result**: - Hence, the unit of time is: \[ t = \frac{1}{10} \text{ seconds} \] ### Conclusion: The unit of time is \( \frac{1}{10} \) seconds.
