JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th January Morning Slot - No. 10)

The density of a material in SI units is 128 kg m–3 . In certain units in which the unit of length is 25 cm and the unit of mass is 50 g, the numerical value of density of the material is -
40
640
16
410

Explanation

Here given that

density of a material in SI units is 128 kg m–3

And a new unit system is introduced where 1 unit of length = 25 cm and 1 unit of mass = 50 g

You should know that, physical quantity is same in any unit system. And to calculate a physical quantity yo should know two things

(1) numerical value of the physical quantity (n)

(2) unit of the physical quantity (u)

And n $$ \times $$ u = constant in any unit system.

Here in SI unit system,

n1 = 128

u1 = kg/m3

And in new unit system,

n2 = ?

u2 = 50gm/(25cm)3

As n1u1 = n2u2

$$ \therefore $$ 128 $$ \times $$ (kg/m3) = n2 $$ \times $$ 50gm/(25cm)3

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 128 $$ \times $$ $${{1000\,gm} \over {{{\left( {100\,cm} \right)}^3}}}$$ = n2 $$ \times $$ $${{50\,gm} \over {{{\left( {25\,cm} \right)}^3}}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ n2 = 128 $$ \times $$ $${{20} \over {{4^3}}}$$ = 40
