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.
The CGS unit of force is the dyne, while the SI unit of force is the newton. 1 newton is equal to 10^5 dynes.
The CGS unit of weight (no longer used) was the gram
CGS unit of time is Second,s.
Kinetic energy= mv2 /2 Units for mass in CGS-gm Units for Velocity in CGS-cm/sec Therefore Unit of KE in CGS=gm(cm/sec)2 = ergs
The ratio of the SI unit and CGS unit of power is 1 Watt to 10^7 ergs per second. If muscle times speed equals power, then the ratio for muscle force in Newtons to dynes (CGS unit of force) would be 1:10^5.

The cgs unit of temperature is the degree Celsius (°C).
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.
cgs means centimeter,gram,second. cgs unit of velocity is cm/s.
The ratio of CGS unit to SI unit of energy is 1 CGS unit to 10^7 SI units. This means that 1 erg in CGS units is equivalent to 10^-7 joules in SI units when measuring energy.

The unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system is the erg.
The CGS unit for speed is centimeters per second (cm/s).
