Answer:

yes

Explanation:

there are other quantities that are dimensionless, but have a unit.

For example, radian is the unit for an angle. But it is dimensionless because it is defined to be the ratio of two lengths.,

a dimensionless quantity will always be independent of the base units — meter, second, kilograms, kelvin, candela, moles, ampere.

Other examples:

1. Mass fraction

2.Mole fraction

both have unit (kg/kg)

A box is 300 kg &amp; it covers the area of 150 m2 find the pressure exerted by the box in the ground.​
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

If we assume that the box is a cube with 150 m² surface area

Area of 1 face = 150 m² / 6 = 25 m²

The box will exert a downward force of

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Force = 300 kg * 9.81 m/s² N

Force = 2943 N

The box exerts a pressure ( force / unit area) = 2943 N / 25 m²

Pressure = 117.7 N/m²

Thank you, if you found this helpful please comment.
