Question

State the units in which mass is measured in (i) CGS system (ii) SI system.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Definition of CGS units in mechanics

In mechanics, the quantities in the CGS and SI systems are defined identically. The two systems differ only in the scale of the three base units (centimetre versus metre and gram versus kilogram, respectively), with the third unit (second) being the same in both systems.

Answer 2

1. Mass = Quantity of matter in a Body.

2. CGS system = Centimeter - Gram - second system

• It is a Gaussian system commonly used in theoretical Physics.

• It is commonly used in Engineering and Physics instruction.

• Unit of Mass in CGS system is 'Gram'

3. SI system = International system of units

• This was first introduced in France and is the Modern Metric system.

• Its system of measurement is accepted by every country in the world.

• It was established in 1960 by the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures.

• Unit of Mass in SI system is 'Kilogram'
