Chapter 1: Q11P (page 22)

Newton's law states that force $=$ mass $\times$ acceleration. Acceleration has the units $m / s^{2}$ . You also know that energy $=$ force x distance and pressure $=$ force/area. From these relations, derive the dimensions of Newton’s, joules, and pascals in terms of the fundamental SI units

Short Answer

Expert verified

Newton: $Force = acceleration = kg \times \frac{m}{s^{2}}$
Joule: $Energy = force \times distance = kg \times \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$
Pascal: $Pressure = \frac{force}{area} = \frac{kg}{{ms}^{2}}$

Step by step solution

Definition of Newton’s law

According to the Newton’s first law, unless a force acts on an item, it will not modify its motion.
The force on an item is equal to its mass times its acceleration, according to the Newton’s second law.
When two things come in contact, the Newton’s third law states that thetwo objects apply forces of equal magnitude and opposing direction to each other.

Calculating the values of Newton, Pascal and Joule

There are three Newton's laws, and one of them states that force = Mass x Acceleration. It is commonly known that energy = force x distance, and pressure = force / area, and that acceleration is expressed as $m / s^{2}$ .

Newton: $Force = acceleration = kg \times \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Joule: $Energy = force \times distance = kg \times \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$

Pascal: $Pressure = \frac{force}{area} = \frac{kg}{{ms}^{2}}$
