Unit and Measurement Chapter-Wise Test 3

Correct answer Carries: 4.

Wrong Answer Carries: -1.

Which of the following is not a derived unit?

Derived units are formed by combining base units. Base units are fundamental and independent.

Newton (N)
Joule (J)
Watt (W)
Kilogram (kg)

The dimensional formula for pressure is:

Pressure is defined as force per unit area: \( P = \frac{F}{A} \).

Force has the formula \([MLT^{-2}]\) and area \([L^2]\), so pressure becomes \([ML^{-1}T^{-2}]\).

\([ML^{-1}T^{-2}]\)
\([MLT^{-2}]\)
\([ML^2T^{-2}]\)
\([ML^{-2}T^{-1}]\)

The SI unit of thermodynamic temperature is:

The base unit of thermodynamic temperature in the SI system is the Kelvin (K).

Celsius
Kelvin
Fahrenheit
Rankine

The order of magnitude of the diameter of a hydrogen atom (approx \(1.06 \times 10^{-10}\) m) is:

The order of magnitude is the nearest power of 10: \(1.06 \times 10^{-10}\) m rounds to \(10^{-10}\).

\(10^{-8}\)
\(10^{-9}\)
\(10^{-10}\)
\(10^{-11}\)

Which one of these quantities has a different dimension from the others?

Work, energy, and torque share the same dimensional formula \([ML^2T^{-2}]\), while pressure is \([ML^{-1}T^{-2}]\).

Work
Energy
Torque
Pressure

The SI unit of luminous intensity is:

The base unit of luminous intensity in the SI system is the candela (cd).

Lux
Lumen
Candela
Watt

The dimensional formula of acceleration is:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time: \([LT^{-1}]/[T] = [LT^{-2}]\).

\([LT^{-1}]\)
\([LT^{-2}]\)
\([L^2T^{-1}]\)
\([MT^{-2}]\)
