Name the SI and C.G.S units of force. How are they related?

Open in App

Solution

The S.I. unit of force is Newton.
The C.G.S. unit of force is dyne.
We know, $F = m a$ ,
Since
$1 N = (1 k g) (1 m . s^{- 2})$
$1 N = (1000 g) (100 c m . s^{- 2})$
$1 N = (10^{5} g . c m . s^{- 2})$
$1 N = 10^{5} d y n e$ $(1 d y n e = 1 g c m s^{- 2})$
