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
MKS unit of power is "Watt 'W' (1W=1J/s)" CGS unit of power is "egr(cgs unit of work)per second"

CGS (centimeter-gram-second) and MKS (meter-kilogram-second) systems are widely used because they are practical and intuitive for scientific measurements. CGS is commonly used in physics while MKS is prevalent in engineering. These systems offer a simple way to measure quantities such as length, mass, and time in a consistent manner across different fields of study.
The MKS (meter-kilogram-second) unit of momentum is kilogram meter per second (kg m/s), while the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of momentum is gram centimeter per second (g cm/s).
The relevant SI bases are MKS.Length: cgs system uses centimetre, MKS uses metre = 100 centimetres. Mass: cgs system uses grams, MKS uses kilogram = 1000 grams. Time: they both use seconds.
the mks unit is kg/m cube and the cgs unit is g/cm cube
In the MKS (Meter-Kilogram-Second) system, the unit of displacement is the meter (m). In the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system, the unit of displacement is the centimeter (cm). In the SI (International System of Units), which is an extension of the MKS system, the unit of displacement remains the meter (m). Thus, the units of displacement across these systems are meters in MKS and SI, and centimeters in CGS.

two units of measurements are MKS and CGS systems

Dyne is the unit of force in CGS system and joule is the unit of work in MKS system. So both are for different physical quantities. So they cannot be related.

Stress has the same dimensions as pressure: force per unit area. In the SI, therefore (or in other MKS systems), the units would be newtons / meter2.
The relevant SI bases are MKS.Length: cgs system uses centimetre, MKS uses metre = 100 centimetres. Mass: cgs system uses grams, MKS uses kilogram = 1000 grams. Time: they both use seconds.
