Question

Define 1 newton. Write its relationship with c.g.s unit of force.

Answer 1

Answer:

one newton is the amount of force required to accelarate one kilogram of material at 1m/s^2 in the direction of force. its C.G.S unit is dyne.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

force which produces unit acceleration in unit mass In SI, force is measured in newton (N).

Force is said to be I N, if it produces an acceleration of I ms-² in a body of mass 1 kg.

The C.G.S. unit of force is dyne. If m = 1 g;a = | cms-² : F= l dyne.

Hence, force applied is said to be 1 dyne if it produces an acceleration of 1 cms-² in a mass of 1g, 1 N = 10^-5 dyne.
