The correct Answer is:
To find the unit of mass given the units of force, length, and velocity, we can use the relationship defined by Newton's second law of motion, which states that: \[ F = m \cdot a \] Where: - \( F \) is the force, - \( m \) is the mass, - \( a \) is the acceleration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the given units**: - Unit of force \( F = 2N \) - Unit of length \( L = 4m \) - Unit of velocity \( V = 6ms^{-1} \) 2. **Determine the unit of acceleration**: - Acceleration \( a \) can be expressed as the change in velocity over time. Since velocity is given as \( 6ms^{-1} \), we can express acceleration as: \[ a = \frac{V}{t} \] - We need to find the unit of time \( t \). From the unit of velocity: \[ V = \frac{L}{t} \implies t = \frac{L}{V} \] - Substituting the given values: \[ t = \frac{4m}{6ms^{-1}} = \frac{4}{6}s = \frac{2}{3}s \] 3. **Calculate the unit of acceleration**: - Now, substituting \( t \) back into the formula for acceleration: \[ a = \frac{6ms^{-1}}{\frac{2}{3}s} = 6ms^{-1} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = 9ms^{-2} \] 4. **Use the formula for force to find mass**: - Now, we can use the formula \( F = m \cdot a \): \[ 2N = m \cdot 9ms^{-2} \] - Rearranging this gives: \[ m = \frac{2N}{9ms^{-2}} \] 5. **Convert Newton to mass units**: - Recall that \( 1N = 1kg \cdot ms^{-2} \): \[ m = \frac{2(1kg \cdot ms^{-2})}{9ms^{-2}} = \frac{2}{9}kg \] ### Conclusion: The unit of mass is \( \frac{2}{9} kg \).
