write two drawbacks of cgs and fps system of units with respect to SI units.
Answers
Answer:
One advantage is the fact that the MKS system is internationally accepted. When scientists work together internationally (and they do so a lot!) it is a lot more convenient if they don’t have to convert the units, with all the risks of making a mistake.
Another disadvantage of the CGS system is it isn’t uniform in the electromagnetic area. It has 2 variants, the esu and the emu, so for calculations and conversions this makes it more error prone.
Answer:
1. The Centimetre Gram Second system of units (abbreviated CGS or cgs) is a variant of the metric system based on the centimetre as the unit of length, the gram as the unit of mass, and the second as the unit of time.
2. MKS is the system of units based on measuring lengths in meters, mass in kilograms, and time in seconds. MKS is generally used in engineering and beginning physics, where the so-called cgs system (based on the centimeter, gram, and second) is commonly used in theoretic physics.
3. The foot pound second system or FPS system is a system of units built on the three fundamental units foot for length, pound for either mass and second for time.
