Question

The slipperiness of a floor (denoted by SSS) can be defined as a function of the number of banana peels (denoted by PPP) and the area of the floor (denoted by AAA) using this formula:

S = \dfrac{P}{A}S=

A

P

​

S, equals, start fraction, P, divided by, A, end fraction

Area of the floor is measured in \text{m}^2m

Select an appropriate measurement unit for slipperiness of a floor

Answer 1

Peels/m^2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Unit of slipperiness =

`\displaystyle\frac{\text{Peels}}{\text{m}^2}`

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The slipperiness of a floor is defined with the help of function:

`S = \displaystyle(P)/(A)`

where S is the slipperiness of the floors, P is the number of banana peels on the floor and A is the area of the floor.

Now, area of floor has units of meter squared that is,

`\text{m}^2`

We have to find the appropriate measurement unit for slipperiness of a floor.

This can be done as:

`S = \displaystyle(P)/(A)\\\\S = \frac{\text{Peels}}{\text{m}^2}`

Thus, slipperiness have a unit of peels per meter squared that is,

`\displaystyle\frac{\text{Peels}}{\text{m}^2}`
