Question

In a particular system, the unit of length, mass and time are chosen to be $$10\,cm,\,10\,g$$   and $$0.1\,s$$  respectively. The unit of force in this system will be equivalent to

A. $$0.1\,N$$  
B. $$1\,N$$
C. $$10\,N$$
D. $$100\,N$$
Answer :   $$0.1\,N$$
Solution :
$${\text{Force}}\,F = \left[ {ML{T^{ - 2}}} \right] = \left( {10g} \right)\left( {10\,cm} \right){\left( {0.01s} \right)^{ - 2}}$$
Changing these units into $$MKS$$  system
$$\eqalign{ & F = \left( {{{10}^{ - 2}}\,kg} \right)\left( {{{10}^{ - 1}}m} \right){\left( {{{10}^{ - 1}}s} \right)^{ - 2}} \cr & = {10^{ - 1}}N \cr & = 0.1\,N \cr} $$
