The unit of tension is C.G.S system is:
Correct answer: C. Dyne
- A. Joule
- B. Energy
- C. Dyne
- D. Foot Pound
Explanation
In the C.G.S (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system, the unit of force is the dyne. One dyne is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-gram mass by one centimeter per second squared. It is the correct unit for measuring tension in this system. The other options are incorrect because they either represent units of energy (Joule, Foot Pound) or are not specific units (Energy).

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
