Question : 2 of 33
Marks: +1, -0
Fill in the blanks by suitable conversion of units
(a) 1 kg m2^{2} s2^{-2} = ....g cm2^{2} s2^{-2}
(b) 1 m = ... ly
(c) 3.0 m s2^{-2} = ...km h2^{-2}
(d) G = 6.67 × 10–11 N m2^{2} (kg)2^{-2} = .... (cm)3^{3} s2^{-2} g1^{-1}.
Solution:  
(a) 1kgm2s2=1×103g(102cm)2s21\,\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm{m}^{2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-2}=1\times10^{3}\,\mathrm{g}\,(10^{2}\,\mathrm{cm})^{2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-2}
=107gcm2s2=10^{7}\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{cm}^{2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-2}
(b) We know, 1 light year =9.46×1015m= 9.46 \times 10^{15}\,\mathrm{m}
  1m=19.46×1015\therefore\; 1\,\mathrm{m} = \frac{1}{9.46 \times 10^{15}} light year $<br>< br>=1.057 \×10^{-16} \ {ly}=10^{-16} \ {ly}<br>(c)< br>(c)3 \ {ms}^{-2}=3 × 10^{-3} \ {km}\ (\ {1}{60 × 60} \ {h}\ )^{-2}<br>< br>=3.888 \× 10^{4} \ {km} \ {h}^{-2}<br>< br>=3.9 × 10^{4} \ {km} \ {h}^{-2}<br>(d)< br>(d)G=6.67 \× 10^{-11} {Nm}^{2} \ {kg}^{-2}<br>< br>=6.67 \× 10^{-11} (\ {kg} \ {m} \ {s}^{-2}\ ) \ {m}^{2} \ {kg}^{-2}<br>< br>=6.67 \× 10^{-11} \ {m}^{3} \ {s}^{-2} \ {kg}^{-1}<br>< br>=6.67 \× 10^{-11}(100 \ {cm})^{3} \ {s}^{-2}(1000 \ {g})^{-1}<br>< br>=6.67 \× 10^{-8} \ {cm}^{3} \ {s}^{-2} \ {g}^{-1}$
