The centimetre-gram-second system (CGS) is a system of physical units. It is always the same for mechanical units, but there are several variants of electric additions. It was replaced by the MKS, or metre-kilogram-second system, which in turn was replaced by the International System of Units (SI), which has the three base units of MKS plus the ampere, mole, candela and kelvin. from Arun

∙ 12y agoCGS is a measuring system that is based on the centimeter, the gram, and the second. It is used to measure small quantities and distances.
MKS is a measuring system is based on the meter, the kilogram, and the second.
It is use to measure large quantities and distances.

∙ 9y agoThe unit of force in MKS systems are based on the meter, kilogram, and second while we say, for example, that the dyne is the CGS unit of force, this determines its definition: it is the force which accelerates a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second per second.

M.k.s and c.g.s unit of power?
MKS unit of power is "Watt 'W' (1W=1J/s)" CGS unit of power is "egr(cgs unit of work)per second"
What is the Relation between si unit and amp cgs unit?
The relevant SI bases are MKS.Length: cgs system uses centimetre, MKS uses metre = 100 centimetres. Mass: cgs system uses grams, MKS uses kilogram = 1000 grams. Time: they both use seconds.
What is momentum and write CGS and MKS units of momentum?
kg m s-1 in MKS gcms-1 in CGS
What is the cgs and mks unit of power?
cgs . . .dyne-centimeter/second, equivalent to erg/secondmks . . .watt, equivalent tojoule/secondnewton-meter/secondkilogram-meter2/second3
Why cgs and mks is widely used?
CGS is NOT widely used. It was in the past. The only system of measurement that is widely used today is the SI, which is a variety of MKS.
What is the mks and cgs units for density?
the mks unit is kg/m cube and the cgs unit is g/cm cube
What is the cgs and mks unit of acceleration?
cgs: centimeter per second2mks: meter per second2
Are there two different metric systems?
No. Unless you consider the CGS and MKS conventions to be different systems...:) See here for an explanation: [See related link "CGS and MKS" below for explanation]
Unit of work is?
(MKS)or(SI)- joule CGS- erg
What are the two systems of measurement in math?
two units of measurements are MKS and CGS systems
M.k.s and c.g.s unit of power?
MKS unit of power is "Watt 'W' (1W=1J/s)" CGS unit of power is "egr(cgs unit of work)per second"
What is the Relation between si unit and amp cgs unit?
The relevant SI bases are MKS.Length: cgs system uses centimetre, MKS uses metre = 100 centimetres. Mass: cgs system uses grams, MKS uses kilogram = 1000 grams. Time: they both use seconds.
How many dynes make a joule?
Dyne is the unit of force in CGS system and joule is the unit of work in MKS system. So both are for different physical quantities. So they cannot be related.
What is the unit of stress in MKS system?
Stress has the same dimensions as pressure: force per unit area. In the SI, therefore (or in other MKS systems), the units would be newtons / meter2.
What is momentum and write CGS and MKS units of momentum?
kg m s-1 in MKS gcms-1 in CGS
What is the cgs and mks unit of power?
cgs . . .dyne-centimeter/second, equivalent to erg/secondmks . . .watt, equivalent tojoule/secondnewton-meter/secondkilogram-meter2/second3
How much is one dyne equal to?
A dyne is the unit of force in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system; it is equal to 0.00001 newtons (the unit in the MKS or meter-kilogram-second system); it is also equal to approximately 0.22481 pounds of force according to Wikipedia.
