Question:

In a new system of units called star units, $ 1\,kg^* = 10 \,kg $ , $ 1 \,m^* =1 \,km $ and $ 1s^* = 1 $ minute, what will be the value of $ 1J $ in the new system ?

Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
  • $ 2.4 \times 10^{-8}\, J^* $
  • $ 3.6 \times 10^{-4}\, J^* $
  • $ 4.2 \times 10^{-3}\, J^* $
  • $ 4.2 \times 10^{-2}\, J^* $

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given that
For star units $1kg^* =10\, kg$
$1m^* = 1 \,km$
and $1s^* = 1 \,m$
The value of $1 \,J$ in star units
$1 \,J = 1 [ML^2 T^{-2}] = 1 [1\, kg\,m^2s^{-2}]$
$= \left[1\times \frac{1}{10} kg + \left(\frac{m^*}{1000}\right)^{2} + \left(\frac{s^*}{60}\right)^{-1}\right] $
$= 3.6 \times 154 J $

Physical World

The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:

  • Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
  • Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
  • Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
  • Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
