Question

Find the conversion factor between s.i & c.g.s unit of force

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Originally Answered: What is the SI unit of force, and how is it related to the CGS unit of force?

The SI unit of force is the newton. Where force is the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.  

The newton(N) the force that will cause a mass of 1kg to accelerate at 1m/s.

The CGS on the other hand is also an SI unit, but refers to the centimeter, gramme and second.  

Now, the relationship between the newton(KGMS) and the CGS is:

1 N = 1kgm/s. Now,

1 kg = 1000 gm,

1 m = 100 cm.

. : 1 N = 1000 x 100 CGS,

= 10^5 CGS.

Answer 2

Conversion factor between SI & CGS unit of force is $1 dyne=10$μN,

Explanation:

There are two metric systems:

SI unit system:

• It is universally used as a standard for measurement.
• It has significant applications in Science and Development field.
• This unit system is formally called MKS system which is metre-kilogram-second system.
• MKS or SI unit for force is Newton.

CGS system:

• It is based on centimetre-gram-second. It is not much used in todays world of measurement.
• CGS unit of Force is dyne.

Conversion factor:

• It is a formula that is used for converting one metric system type into another metric system type.
• It is generally given as a numerical ratio or fraction which is used as a multiplication factor.

Conversion for force from cgs to SI:

$1 dyne=10$μN
