SI is the Systeme Internalionale of measurement in which the Metre, kilogram and Second are some primary units. An older system based on metric units used centimetre, gram, and second as the primary units. Obviously these may be converted into SI units, but the CGS system is no longer used. [Some of the definitions of the fundamental units differ between these systems.]

Relationship between cgs and si units of force?

The CGS unit of force is dyne, while the SI unit of force is newton. 1 newton is equal to 100,000 dynes. This means that to convert force from CGS to SI units, you would divide the amount in dynes by 100,000 to get the equivalent value in newtons.


What is the cgs unit of current electricity?

It seems there have been different "CGS" units, and the definition of units, specifically in the electrical area, varies between them. You would first have to decide WHICH cgs system you want to work with.


Cgs unit of kinetic energy?

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


What the reletion between si and cgs unit of force?

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.


What are the cgs units of displacement?

The cgs unit of displacement is the centimeter (cm). It represents a distance along a straight line in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system of units.


What is the cgs unit for force?

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.


What is the ratio of CGS unit to SI unit of energy?

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.


Why is it convienient to express the density or the specific gravity in cgs units?

Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.


What is cgs units of velocity?

cgs means centimeter,gram,second. cgs unit of velocity is cm/s.


In cgs units the density of water?

In cgs units, the density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter.


What is the value of gravity in CGS unit?

The value of gravity in CGS units is approximately 980 cm/s^2.


What is the ratio between cgs unit and si units?

The ratio between cgs (centimeter-gram-second) units and SI (International System of Units) units varies depending on the specific unit being considered. For example, the ratio for the unit of length is 1 cm = 0.01 m, while the ratio for the unit of mass is 1 g = 0.001 kg. It's important to convert between these systems when working with different units in physical sciences.
