CGS Unit
Asked by Ananya Patelapati · 2 years ago
What is the CGS unit of surface tension and how does it relate to the SI unit?
1 Answer
The CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) unit of surface tension is:
Dyne per centimeter (dyne/cm)
To convert between CGS and SI units:
1 dyne/cm = 0.001 N/m
Or conversely:
1 N/m = 1000 dyne/cm
While the SI unit is more commonly used in modern scientific literature, you may encounter the CGS unit in some older texts or specialized applications.
