Question

APTITUDE CRACK · Accepted Answer

The correct option is  E 90% platinum and 10% iridium The International Prototype Kilogram stored in a vault in Paris, was replaced by a formula using Planck&#39;s constant in 2019. The IPK was losing mass so the metrology community redefined the kilogram with the aid of the Planck constant. The IPK is a roughly golf ball sized object made of a platinum alloy known as Pt/&#39;10Ir , which is 90% platinum and 10% iridium (by mass) and is machined into a right circular cylinder with a height equal to its diameter of about 39 millimeters to reduce its surface area.
