Question

Write down the relationship between the SI and CGS unit of area.

Answer 1

SI units:

1. The SI (Système International d’Unités.) are standard units of measurement which were defined by the International System of Units
2. The standard units for length is meter, weight is the kilogram, seconds for time, ampere for electric current, Kelvin for temperature, a mole for amount of substance, and candela for luminous intensity
3. The SI unit of area is a meter square, written as ${\mathbf{m}}^{\mathbf{2}}$

CGS units:

1. The (Centimeter Gram Seconds), is a variant of metric units of measurement
2. This system was introduced by a Carl Freidrich Gauss, a German mathematician in 1832
3. The standard unit for length is a centimeter, mass is a gram, and time in seconds
4. The CGS unit of area is a square centimeter, written as ${\mathbf{cm}}^{\mathbf{2}}$

The relationship between the SI and CGS units of the area is

$\mathbf{1}\mathbf{}{\mathbf{m}}^{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{10000}\mathbf{}{\mathbf{cm}}^{\mathbf{2}}$
