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.
Momentum is a measure of an object's motion and is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. In CGS units, momentum is measured in g cm/s, while in MKS units, momentum is measured in kg m/s.
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

The units for acceleration in the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system are meters per second squared (m/s^2). In the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, the units for acceleration are centimeters per second squared (cm/s^2).
MKS unit of power is "Watt 'W' (1W=1J/s)" CGS unit of power is "egr(cgs unit of work)per second"
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 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.
Momentum is a measure of an object's motion and is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. In CGS units, momentum is measured in g cm/s, while in MKS units, momentum is measured in kg m/s.

two units of measurements are MKS and CGS systems
The units for acceleration in the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system are meters per second squared (m/s^2). In the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, the units for acceleration are centimeters per second squared (cm/s^2).
