Assume, F o r c e = F V e l o c i t y = v P r o p o r t i o n a l i t y C o n s t a n t = K So, F = K v o r , K = v F As unit of Force is k g m s − 2 And unit of Velocity is m s − 1 , Unit of Proportionality Constant, K is, m s − 1 k g m s − 2 = k g / s Its the Answer !!!
If you have your Basic Math knowledge, its just a Piece of Cake to you, isn't it!
