Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Here given that

density of a material in SI units is 128 kg m–3

And a new unit system is introduced where 1 unit of length = 25 cm and 1 unit of mass = 50 g

You should know that, physical quantity is same in any unit system. And to calculate a physical quantity yo should know two things

(1) numerical value of the physical quantity (n)

(2) unit of the physical quantity (u)

And n × u = constant in any unit system.

Here in SI unit system,

n1 = 128

u1 = kg/m3

And in new unit system,

n2 = ?

u2 = 50gm/(25cm)3

As n1u1 = n2u2

∴ 128 × (kg/m3) = n2 × 50gm/(25cm)3

⇒ 128 × 1000gm(100cm)3 = n2 × 50gm(25cm)3

⇒ n2 = 128 × 2043 = 40
