So what do we want to learn ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

about conversion

OpenStudy (abhisar):

like show me an example question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convert the quantity from 2.3x10^-8 cm to nanometers (nm)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u can do this by multiplying it with 10\(^7\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

ohkay i got ur question !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really what is the answer?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

the answer will be 2.3x10^-8 *10^7 = 2.3x10^-1

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now lets see how to do such conversions using Dimensional analysis

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Suppose i say u to convert 1 newton (SI unit of force )force into dyne (CGS unit of force)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Then, Dimensional formula of force is [F] = [M\(^1\)L\(^1\)T\(^{-2}\)]

OpenStudy (abhisar):

If n\(_1\), u\(_1\) and n\(_2\), u\(_2\) corresponds to SI & CGS units respectively, then
