Question

The ratio of the C.G.S unit of pressure to the S.I unit of pressure is 10.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

SI unit of pressure is $N/m^2$ and CGS unit of pressure is $dyne/c{m}^2$.

We know that $1N={10}^{5}dyne$ and $1m={10}^{0}cm$

ratio of CGS unit to SI unit $\frac{1dyne/c{m}^2}{N/m^2}=\frac{1dyne/c{m}^2}{{10}^{5}dyne/(100{)}^{2}c{m}^2}=\frac{1}{10}$

Thus the given statement is false.
