Question

In a certain system of units, 33.8 thumbs = 1 meter, 1 pause = 30.4 s, and 1 glob = 24.7 kg. The unit of force in this system is a perk (p). How many kiloperks (kp) are in 61 N? Answer in units of kp.

Answer 1

Answer: 77.14 kp

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

`1 m=33.8 thumbs`

`1 pause=30.4 s`

`1 glob=24.7 kg`

We are told the unit of force in this system is the Perk
`p`, while in the International System is the Newton
`1 N=kg (m)/(s^(2))`, and
`1 kp=1000 p`.

So, we need to transform
`61 N=61 kg (m)/(s^(2))` to
`kp`:

`61 kg (m)/(s^(2)) ((1 glob)/(24.7 kg)) ((33.8 thumbs)/(1 m)) (((30.4 s)^(2))/((1 pause)^(2)))=77143.04 p`

`77143.04 p (1 kp)/(1000 p)=77.14 kp`

Therefore:

`61 N=777.14 kp`
