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
The CGS unit of weight (no longer used) was the gram
The unit of energy in the CGS system is the erg. It is a small unit of energy equal to 10^-7 joules.
The cgs power unit is the erg, a dyne-centimeter.
In the CGS system, the unit of frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), just like in the International System of Units (SI).
The unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system is the erg.
The cgs unit of current in electromagnetic system equivalent to 10 amperes is 10 amperes.
The unit of thermal conductivity in the cgs system is cal/(cmsK), where cal is the calorie, cm is centimeter, s is second, and K is Kelvin.
Statcoulumb is the unit of charge in cgs system.
CGS unit of time is Second,s.
The centimetre-gram-second system (abbreviated CGS or cgs) is a metric system of physical units based on centimetre as the unit of length, gram as a unit of mass, and second as a unit of time. All CGS mechanical units are unambiguously derived from these three base units, but there are several different ways of extending the CGS system to cover electromagnetism.CGS approach to electromagnetic units The conversion factors relating electromagnetic units in the CGS and SI systems are much more involved - so much so that formulas for physical laws of electromagnetism are adjusted depending on what system of units one uses. refer to link below for methods

The unit of work in the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system is erg. 1 erg is equivalent to 1 dyne force applied over a distance of 1 centimeter.
