Suppose you system of units has one years as the unit of tiem , one light year as the unit of length and mass of earth as the unit of mass. How much 1 N be equal to the units of force in this system. Take 1 year = 3 xx 10^(5) s , 1 light year = 9.5 xx 10^(15) m and mass and earth = 6 xx 10^(24) kg .

Assertion: Light year is the distance that light travels with velocity of 3xx10^(8)ms^(-1) in one year. Reason: Light year is the unit for measuring time.

A star constellation is approximately 3.1times10^(4) light years from Earth. One light year is about 5.9times10^(12) miles. What is the approximately distance, in miles, between Earth and the constellation.

Two stars distant two light years are just resolved by a telescope. The diameter of the telescope lens is 0.25 m . If the wavelength of light used is 5000 A^(0) , then the minimum distance between the stars is

If year is taken as the unit of time and velocity of light as the unit of velocity what is the unit of length ?

If the velocity of light is taken as the unit of velocity and year as the unit of time find the unit of length?

Assertion : Light year and year, both measure time. Reason : Because light year is the time light takes to reach the earth from the sun.
