If the unit of force is $100\,N$, unit of length is $10\,m$ and unit of time is $100\,s$ , what is the unit of mass in this system of units ?
${[\mathrm{F}]=\left[\mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~L}^{1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]=100 \mathrm{~N}}$
${[\mathrm{~L}]=10 \mathrm{~m}}$
${[\mathrm{~T}]=100 \mathrm{~s}}$
Substituting values of $\mathrm{L}$ and $\mathrm{T}$ from Eqs. (ii) and (iii) in Eq. (i), $\therefore \mathrm{M} \times 10 \times(100)^{-2}=100$
$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{M} \times 10}{100 \times 100}=100$
$\therefore \mathrm{M}=10^{5} \mathrm{~kg}$
