Question 3

Measurement and Units

For which of the underlisted quantities is the derived unit ML2T−2 correct? I. Moment of a force II. Work III. Acceleration

  1. A.I only
  2. B.II only
  3. C.III only
  4. D.I and II
  5. E.II and III.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D (I and II)

Explanation

Moment and work are both force × distance: (MLT−2) × L = ML2T−2. Acceleration is LT−2.
