What is the unit of intensity in CGS system?

Answer 1

Specific weight is a substance's weight (not mass) per unit volume. If you take a known volume of something -- say a cubic foot of it -- and place it on a scale, you know how much it weighs per cubic foot. So, let's say you have a cubic foot of water. Although its weight will vary somewhat with temperature, its average SW is about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot. Compare that to gasoline at 42.5 pounds per cubic foot and Mercury at 847 pounds per cubic ft.

Answer 2

The gram. cgs stands for "centimeter-gram-second".

The gram. cgs stands for "centimeter-gram-second".

The gram. cgs stands for "centimeter-gram-second".

The gram. cgs stands for "centimeter-gram-second".

Answer 3

Specific Gravity is the Scientific term for Density (same thing) The symbol for Specific Gravity used by Physicists is, S.G. S.g. Is defined as the mass of a unit volume of any substance. In the Metric system the SG is measured as the number of Gram per Cubic Centimetre. (gm/cc) Examples :- The SG of water is 1gm/cc& for Lead it is 11.34gm/cc & for Iron it is 7.87gm/cc Water has a greater SG than oil, that is why Oil floats on Water. In a Lead/Acid car battery the SG of the acid changes during the time it is recharged. We measure the SG of the Acid in the battery to find out when it is fully charged , or to find out if it is 'flat' or discharged. SG is a very useful measuring tool.

Answer 4

According to the book named 'A Textbook of Hydraulics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines' by R. S. Khurmi, specific weight can be shown as below:

specific weight = weight / volume

hence the unit is as follows:

{gm * (cm / s2)} / cm3 = gm * cm-2 * s-2

Again, according to the book named ' Fluid Mechanics' by Dr. A. K. Jain, specific weight can be shown as below:

specific weight = density * gravity

hence the unit is as follows:

(gm / cm3) * (cm / s2) = gm * cm -2* s -2

Answer 5

The derived unit of weight in C G S system is Grams

Answer 6

The gram. cgs stands for "centimeter-gram-second".

Answer 7

Since a weight is a force, that would be the dyne (equal to 10^-5 newton).

Answer 8

The SI unit is a Newton; for the CGS system, it is a micronewton.

Answer 9

g/cm^3

Answer 10
