Question

The SI unit of force is kilogram-force (kgf).

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Force is a push or pull action on an object.
2. Its SI unit is N (Newton). One newton is defined as the force that is required to accelerate a mass of 1 kg by 1 ms^-2 in the direction of applied force.
3. Its CGS unit is dyne
4. 1N = 10⁵ dyne

Hence, the statement “The SI unit of force is kilogram-force (kgf) ” is False
