Question

The density of mercury is $13600kg{m}^{-3}$.Its value in CGS system will be:

• A. $13.6gc{m}^{-3}$
• B. $1360gc{m}^{-3}$
• C. $136gc{m}^{-3}$
• D. $1.36gc{m}^{-3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $13.6gc{m}^{-3}$

The $C.G.S.$ unit of kg is Gm$.$ and that of meter is cm$.$ When we convert $13600kg{m}^{-3}$ then $13600\times 1000\left(100\times 100\times 100\right)=13.6gc{m}^{-3}$

Hence,

option $\left(A\right)$ is correct answer.
