Answer: 10 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Using dimensional analysis, we can find the unit of mass in the given system:

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

In the given system, the unit of force is 100 N, which can be written as:

100 N = (100 kg · m/s²) × (10 m/s²)

Thus, we can see that the unit of force is equivalent to 100 kg·m/s².

Now, we can rearrange the equation to solve for mass (m):

m = F/a

Substituting the units:

m = (100 kg·m/s²) / (10 m/s²)

m = 10 kg

Therefore, the unit of mass in the given system is 10 kg.
