    If force (F), length (L) and time (T) be considered fundamental units, then units of mass will be

    A)  \[[F\,L\,{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    B)                         \[[F\,{{L}^{-2}}\,{{T}^{-1}}]\]     

    C)         \[[F\,{{L}^{-1}}\,{{T}^{-2}}]\]     

    D)         \[[F\,{{L}^{-1}}\,{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[M\propto {{F}^{a}}{{L}^{b}}{{T}^{c}}\] Writing dimensions \[[{{M}^{1}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}]=K{{[ML{{T}^{-2}}]}^{a}}{{[L]}^{b}}{{[T]}^{c}}\] On comparing both sides \[a=1,a+b=0\Rightarrow b=-1\] and          \[-2a+c=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[c=2\] \[\therefore \] Units of mass is \[[F{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{2}}].\]
