    Question



    In the centimetre-gram-second system of unit (CGS unit), force is expressed in which form?

    A.

    Newton

    B.

    Dyne

    C.

    Kilojoule

    D.

    Mass ÷ weight

    Correct option is B


    In the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system, force is measured in dyne. One dyne is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimetre per second squared (cm/s²).
    The formula for force in CGS units is:

    Information Booster:
    · The SI unit of force is the Newton (N), where:

    · The CGS unit system is mostly used in scientific research and older physics texts, while the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system and SI units (International System of Units) use Newton for force.
