C Correct answer
Explanation

Planck's constant, symbolized h, relates the energy in one quantum (photon) of electromagnetic radiation to the frequency of that radiation.  In the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) or small-unit metric system, it is equal to approximately $6.626176\times 10^{-27}\,$Erg Second.

If force (F), work (W) and velocity (V) are taken as fundamental quantities then the dimensional formula of time (T) is

  1. $\left[ { W }^{ 1 }{ F }^{ 1 }{ V }^{ 1 } \right] $
  2. $\left[ { W }^{ 1 }{ F }^{ 1 }{ V }^{ -1 } \right] $
  3. $\left[ { W }^{ -1 }{ F }^{ -1 }{ V }^{ -1 } \right] $
  4. $\left[ { W }^{ 1 }{ F }^{ -1 }{ V }^{ -1 } \right] $

D Correct answer
Explanation
We know,

$[W]=ML^2T^{-2}$

$[F]=MLT^{-2}$

$[V]=LT^{-1}$

Let,
$W^aF^bV^c=M^0L^0T$

$a+b=0$

$2a+b+c=0$, $a+c=0$

$-2a-2b-c=1$

$c=-1,a=1,b=-1$

Hence , $[T]=[WF^{-1}V^{-1}]$

Option $\textbf D$ is the correct answer

The ratio of SI unit to CGS unit of G is

  1. $10^{3}$
  2. $10^{2}$
  3. $10^{-2}$
  4. $10^{-3}$

A Correct answer
Explanation
SI unit of G is  $\dfrac{N m^2}{kg^2}$.
CGS unit of G is  $\dfrac{dyne \ cm^2}{gm^2}$
We know that  $1 \ N = 10^5 \ dyne$ and $1 \ m = 10^2 \ cm$ and $1 \ kg = 10^3 \ gm$
So ratio of SI unit to CGS unit   $ = \dfrac{\dfrac{N  \ m^2}{kg^2}}{\dfrac{dyne \ cm^2}{gm^2}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{10^5 \ dyne \ (10^2 \ cm)^2}{(10^3 \ gm)^2}}{\dfrac{dyne \ cm^2}{gm^2}} = 10^3$
Correct answer is option A.

1 Newton $=$

  1. $10^4 dyne$
  2. $10^5 dyne$
  3. $10^6dyne$
  4. $10^7 dyne$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
S.I. unit of force is Newton and CGS unit of force is done.

We know $F=ma$
so, force can be expresses in S.I. Units as $Kg m s^{-2}$
and dyne can be expressed as $gcms^{-2}$
1 Newton= $kg ms^{-2}$ 
                 =$10^3 g*10^2 cms  s^{-2}$
                 =$10^5 g cm s^{-2}$
                 =$10^5 dyne$
