4. Put these derived units into BASE units Joule, Watt, Volt, Ohm.
Hint : Joule is the unit for work done, WORK DONE = Force X Distance
Watt is the unit for power, POWER = Work done Time
Volt is the unit for potential difference, P.d = Work done Charge
Ohm is the unit for resistance, RESISTANCE = P.dCurrent

13. (a) State what is meant by an equation is homogeneous with respect to its units.
(b) Show that the equation x = ut + at2 is homogeneous with respect to its units.
(c) Explain why an equation may be homogeneous with respect to its units but still be
incorrect.
14. (a) A candidate in a physics examination has worked out a formula for the kinetic energy, E
of a solid sphere spinning about its axis. His formula is

23. A microphone has a weight W of 6.0 N. It is suspended by wire X from the ceiling in a radio
studio. Fig. 1.1 shows the microphone held in the correct position by a horizontal wire Y.
The tension T in wire Y is 8.0 N. Use a vector diagram to determine the magnitude and
the direction of the resultant of W and T.
