Why can $10^6 \, km$ not be represented as $M \, km$?

  • A
    Because $M$ is not a standard $SI$ prefix.
  • B
    Because $M$ represents Mega $(10^6)$,but it is not used as a prefix for units of length like $km$.
  • C
    Because $M$ is already used for mass.
  • D
    Because it is standard practice not to use two prefixes for a single unit.

The new $SI$ unit of mass $1 \, kg$ is defined in terms of the difference in the masses of two ${}^{133}Cs_{55}$ atoms. One of these atoms is in its ground state and the other is in an excited state that has a frequency of excitation close to $9.2 \times 10^9 \, Hz$. The number of atoms required to get $1 \, kg$ of mass this way is of the order of (Planck's constant = $6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s$; mass of proton = $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$; Avogadro number = $6.02 \times 10^{23} \, \text{particles}$; speed of light = $3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$).
