What units of measurement do you use for speed?
SI UNIT : metre/second2 CGS UNIT :cm/second2
How do you convert density of water in CGS unit to SI unit?
(CGS units) 1.0000 g/cm3 = 1000.0 kg/m3 (SI units) at 4oC temperature
Why is it convienient to express the density or the specific gravity in cgs units?
Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.
What is the relationship between SI and CGS units of force?
SI is the Systeme Internalionale of measurement in which the Metre, kilogram and Second are some primary units. An older system based on metric units used centimetre, gram, and second as the primary units. Obviously these may be converted into SI units, but the CGS system is no longer used. [Some of the definitions of the fundamental units differ between these systems.]
What is SI and CGS unit of volume?
SI . . . . . meter3 CGS . . . . centimeter3
Can you mix up SI system and CGS system during solving of problems?
it cannot be mixed but it can be convert from SI--> CGS and CGS-->SI
Why are CGS and MKS system most common in daily use?
CGS is NOT common nowadays. MKS is common because the SI, the international system of units, is based on it.
What are the two most common systems of units?
The two most common systems of units are cgs and SI systems
What are the two most common unit systems?
The two most common systems of units are cgs and SI systems
What is the cgs unit for force?
Work is measured in joules.The unit of work is the joule (J).Please see the related link.The joule is the SI unit of work and heat.
Si and cgs unit of stress?
The SI unit of stress is N/m2. The CGS unit is dyne/cm2.
Which of the following are units that can only describe scalar quantities?
the units of mass gm and kg in CGS and SI system ,units of distance-m and km are some units which describe scalar quantity.
