Correct Answer: 0.1 N


Solution : The correct option is 0.1 N .

The units of length, mass and time in the provided system are 10 cm, 10 g, and 0.1 s, respectively. The formula a = v/t, where v is the change in velocity and t is the change in time, may be used to compute the unit of acceleration. The unit of acceleration is thus:

v/t = (10 cm/s)/(0.1 s) = 100 cm/s 2 where a = v/t.
We must divide this unit by 100 to get the conventional unit of acceleration or m/s 2 .

Therefore, 1 m/s 2 /100 = 0.01 m/s 2 serves as the unit of acceleration in this system F = ma = (10 g) * (0.01 m/s 2 ) = 0.1 N
As a result, the system's unit of force is 0.1 N.
