Answer:
CGS and MKS Units
The CGS system was introduced formally by the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1874. ... Since the meter equals 100 centimeters and the kilogram equals 1000 grams, the ratio between a CGS unit and the corresponding MKS unit is characteristically a power of 10.
CGS unit for work 1 erg
MKS unit of work : 1 Joule
1 Joule : If a force of 1 Newton displaces an object through 1 metre then the work done is 1 Joule
1 erg : If a force of 1 dyne displaces an object through 1 CM then the work done is 1 Erg
