In the metric system, the most common unit used is a Newton, which is a (kg x m)/sec^2 and in the English system, the most common unit is a Pound, which is a (slug x ft)/sec^2.

But really, any unit that conforms to a the diagram of a mass times a length divided by a time squared can be used to measure force. A microgram x kilometer divided by decade^2 is also a unit to measure force, albeit a very ugly one. I hope this helps :)

Alla [95]

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

We know that, the E is inversely proportional to the distance as follows :

$E=\dfrac{k}{d^2}$

We can write it as follows :

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1000}{2000}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d})^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{1000}{2000}}=(\dfrac{d_2}{D})\\\\0.7071=\dfrac{d_2}{d}\\\\d_1=0.7071D\\\\d_1=\dfrac{D}{\sqrt2}$
