Which of the following units is equivalent to the watt?

  • A. kgms-2
  • B. kgm2s-3
  • C. kgm2s-2
  • D. kgm2s-1

Correct Answer: B. kgm2s-3

Explanation

\(Power = \frac{\text{Work done}}{time}\)

= \(\frac{Force \times distance}{time}\)

= \(\frac{mass \times acceleration \times distance}{time}\)

= \(\frac{kg \times m \times m}{s^{2} \times s}\)

= \(kgm^{2} s^{-3}\)
