Question

Find the conversion factor between S.I. unit and of density

Answer 1

Density = Mass/Volume

In S.I Units, Density = kg/m3

In CGS Units, Density = g/cm3

                                        = 10-3kg/10-6m3

                                        = 103kg/m3

Hence if density is given in S.I Units then multiply its value by 103 to get its value in CGS Units.

Example: Density of water in S.I Units is 1kg/m3 and in CGS Units is 1000g/cm3.
