kg m s-1 in MKS gcms-1 in CGS
In MKS: "meter per second per second" = M/S2. In CGS: "centimeter per second per second" = CM/S2.
The centimetre-gram-second system (CGS) is a system of physical units. It is always the same for mechanical units, but there are several variants of electric additions. It was replaced by the MKS, or metre-kilogram-second system, which in turn was replaced by the International System of Units (SI), which has the three base units of MKS plus the ampere, mole, candela and kelvin. from Arun
CGS is NOT widely used. It was in the past. The only system of measurement that is widely used today is the SI, which is a variety of MKS.
Linear momentum of an object is its mass times its velocity. Since momentum does not have a unit name of its own its units are whatever you use for mass & velocity. The SI units would be Kg-M/S . The cgs units would be gm-cm/S , and the English units would be Slug-Ft/S . It can also be expressed in terms of force units. SI: Newton-Sec. , Cgs :dyne-Sec, English: Pound-Sec.
kg m s-1 in MKS gcms-1 in CGS
the mks unit is kg/m cube and the cgs unit is g/cm cube
CGS is NOT common nowadays. MKS is common because the SI, the international system of units, is based on it.
In MKS: "meter per second per second" = M/S2. In CGS: "centimeter per second per second" = CM/S2.
two units of measurements are MKS and CGS systems

cgs: centimeter per second2mks: meter per second2
(MKS)or(SI)- joule CGS- erg
No. Unless you consider the CGS and MKS conventions to be different systems...:) See here for an explanation: [See related link "CGS and MKS" below for explanation]

The MKS-ISO metric system and the CGS-ISO metric system. The American, Imperial, or customary units of measurement are not a system at all, they are an accumulation of antique units.
