The unit of force in CGS, system is __________?
Correct answer: C. Dyne
- A. Newton
- B. Pound
- C. Dyne
- D. None of these
Explanation
The CGS unit of force is the dyne, defined as 1 g cm/s². In SI units the corresponding unit is the newton (N), while the pound is used in another system of units. The likely mistake is choosing newton because it is the familiar SI force unit rather than the CGS unit requested.

About Newton's Laws of Motion
Newton’s laws explain inertia, the relation between net force and acceleration, and action-reaction pairs. Questions involve free-body diagrams, balanced and unbalanced forces, F = ma, force as the rate of change of momentum, and identifying genuine third-law pairs, which act on different bodies.
