The ratio of SI to CGS unit of force is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The ratio of SI to CGS unit of force is
A. 10²
B. 10⁷
C. 10³
D. 10⁵
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
SI unit Newton (kg m/s²), CGS unit dyne (g cm/s²). 1 N = 10⁵ dyne. Conversion: 1 kg = 10³ g, 1 m = 100 cm, so 1 N = 10³ × 10² = 10⁵ dyne. Ratio N/dyne = 10⁵.

Question #3
The kinetic energy of a body is increased by 300%. The percentage increase in its momentum is:
A. 300%
B. 200%
C. 400%
D. 100%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
KE ∝ p² (since KE = p²/(2m)). If KE increases by 300%, new KE = 4× original KE. Thus p_new² / p_original² = 4 ⇒ p_new / p_original = 2 ⇒ momentum doubles, i.e., 100% increase. Memory tip: 'KE ∝ p²; so %Δp = ½ %ΔKE for small changes, but for large changes use ratio'. This proportional reasoning problem tests energy-momentum relationship, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always derive from fundamental relations when percentages are large; linear approximations fail here.
