Physics Question on Dimensional Analysis
If 'muscle times speed equals power' what is the ratio of the SI unit and the CGS unit of muscle?
A
105
B
103
C
107
D
10−5
Answer
105
Explanation
Solution
Muscle × speed = power
∴ Muscle = speed power = time × speed work
=[T][LT−1][ML2T−2]=[MLT−2]
= mass × acceleration = force
Hence, CGS unit of force SI unit of force
=g×cm×s−2kg×m×s−2
=103×102=105
