Question

Find the CGS unit of the following derived quantities : Give the relation of these CGS units with respect to their SI units.
Velocity

Answer 1

Given, $velocity=\frac{length}{time}$

C.G.S unit of velocity $=$?

$\therefore$ C.G.S. unit of velocity

$=\frac{C.G.Sunitoflength}{C.G.S.unitoftime}=\frac{cm}{s}$

or $1cm{s}^{-1}={10}^{-2}m{s}^{-1}$
