What is the relationship between SI units and CGS unit of work ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

work= force * displacement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

force= 1 kg * 1m/s/s= 1N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st change the SI unit of force into CGS unit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now u proceed..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

force= 1 kg * 1m/s/s= 1N

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cgs unit of mass--- gram cgs unit of distance---cm and of time ---second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1 N= (1000g) *( 100cm) /s/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 N= 1 kg * 1m/s/s = (1000g) *( 100cm) /s/s = 10^5 g cm/s/s = 10^5 dyne

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now u can do by ur own for work. Just u have to change the distance into cgs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10^7 ? .. AM SORRY NET WAS SLOW !

hartnn (hartnn):

yup, 10^7 it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

j right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's ok...and u r right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx for the help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it has a special name.... 1 joule= 10^7 erg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay :)
