The pressure of 106dyne/cm2is equivalent toa)105N/m2b)106N/m2c)107N/m2...
We know that 105 dyne = 1N
And 104cm2 = 1 m2
Thus we get 10 dyne / cm2 = N / m2
Hence 106 dyne / cm2 =105 N / m2

Conversion of Pressure Units
To solve this problem, we need to convert the given pressure in dyne/cm2 to N/m2. The conversion factor for pressure is:
1 N/m2 = 10 dyne/cm2
So, to convert 106 dyne/cm2 to N/m2, we can use the following calculation:
106 dyne/cm2 x (1 N/m2 / 10 dyne/cm2) = 10.6 N/m2
However, the options given in the question are in scientific notation, so we need to convert our answer to scientific notation as well:
10.6 N/m2 = 1.06 x 101 N/m2
Therefore, the correct answer is option A, which is 1.05 x 105 N/m2.
