If value of surface tension of a niquia is 70 dyne/cm, then its value in N / m will be
Options
- A7 10^3 ~N / m
- B7 10^2 ~N / m
- C7 10⁻² ~N / m
- D70 ~N / m
Correct answer
C. 7 10⁻² ~N / m
Step-by-step solution
The unit dyne/cm is CGS system of unit. The CGS unit of force is dyne and SI unit is Newton. Also there are 10^5 dynes in one newton and 100 cm in 1 cm . 70 dynes cm = 70 10⁻⁵ 10⁻² =7 10⁻² ~N / m
