Question

How to convert 4200j/kg/k into cgs unit?

Answer 1

Convert

1 Joule into ergs, 1J = 10⁷ ergs

1 kg into grams, 1kg = 10³ g

and

keep the same units for temperature and multiply the whole thing by 4200

so,

specific heat in cgs = 4200 x (10⁷/10³.1)

thus,

specific heat in cgs =4200 x 10⁴ ergs/g/K
