Question
Which of the following sets cannot enter into the list of fundamental quantities in any system of units?
  1. Length, mass and velocity.
  2. Length, time and velocity.
  3. Mass, time and velocity.
  4. Length, time and mass.
✓

Answer

  1. Length, time and velocity.
Explanation:

We define length and time separately as it is not possible to define velocity without using these quantities. This means that one fundamental quantity depends on the other. So, these quantities cannot be listed as fundamental quantities in any system of units.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from $1$ to $5$. Surface Tension The property due to which the free surface of liquid tends to have minimum surface area and behaves like a stretched membrane is called surface tension. It is a force per unit length acting in the plane of interface between the liquid and the bounding surface i.e., $\text{S}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{L}},$ where F = force acting on either side of imaginary line on surface and L = length of imaginary line. Surface tension decreases with rise in temperature. Highly soluble impurities increases surface tension and sparingly soluble impurities decreases surface tension.
