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.
