A Correct answer
Explanation

The kilogram-force (kgf or kgF) is a gravitational metric unit of force. It is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a $10\ ms^{-2}$ gravitational field (standard gravity, a conventional value approximating the average magnitude of gravity on Earth).Therefore one kilogram-force is by definition equal to 10 N

So 1 kgf=10N
hence 1N=0.1 kgf  , Z=0.1

A Correct answer
Explanation

The magnetic flux if given by

$\phi=BAcos\theta$
If $cos\theta=1$
The maximum magnetic flux, $\phi=BA$. . . . . .(1)
where, $B=$ magnetic field
$A=area$ 
The dimensional formula for magnetic field,
$F=qvB$
where, $v=$ velocity
$q=$ charge,
$B=$ magnetic field
$[B]=\dfrac{M^1 L^1T^{-2}}{[A^1 T^1][L^1T^{-1}]}$
$[B]=[M^1L^0T^{-2}A^{-1}]$
for area, $[A]=[M^0 L^2 T^0]$
The dimensional formula for magnetic flux,
$[\phi]=[M^1L^0 T^{-2}A^{-1}].[M^0L^2T^0]$
$[\phi]=[M^1L^2T^{-2}A^{-1}]$
The correct option is A.

The SI unit of gravitational potential is :

  1. Joule/kg

  2. Joule$^2$/kg

  3. kg/Joule

  4. Joule/kg$^2 $

A Correct answer
Explanation

The gravitational potential at a point is the potential energy associated with a unit mass due to its position in the gravitational field of another body. Gravitational potential is the amount of work done in bringing a body of unit mass from infinity to that point.
Gravitational potential (V) $=\dfrac{Work done}{Mass}=\dfrac{W}{m}$
Gravitational potential  is a scalar quantity and the  SI unit is $J/kg$.
