Question

why is the unit of force called a drive unit​

Answer 1

Answer:

☆Unit of force is called Derived unit because Force can be expressed in terms of mass and acceleration

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Unit of force is called a derived unit or derived quantity because it is dependent on fundamental quantities like mass and acceleration for its value.

• A fundamental quantity is independent of any other physical quantity. For example, Thermodynamic temperature, luminous intensity, mass, time, current, length, etc.
• A derived quantity is always dependent on fundamental quantities for its value. For example, force, acceleration, volume, area, density, etc.
• According to Newton's second law,

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Unit of force can be derived as follows:

Unit of Force = Kg (mass) × m/sec² (acceleration)

Unit of force = Kg. m/sec²

1 Newton (force) = Kg. m/sec²

• Hence, we can conclude that unit of force is derived from the unit of mass and acceleration.
