  2. Centimetre–gram–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre–gram–second...

    Thus, for example, the CGS unit of pressure, barye, is related to the CGS base units of length, mass, and time in the same way as the SI unit of pressure, pascal, is related to the SI base units of length, mass, and time: 1 unit of pressure = 1 unit of force / (1 unit of length) 2 = 1 unit of mass / (1 unit of length × (1 unit of time) 2)

  3. Gaussian units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_units

    This system is the most common of the several electromagnetic unit systems based on the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). It is also called the Gaussian unit system, Gaussian-cgs units, or often just cgs units. [a] The term "cgs units" is ambiguous and therefore to be avoided if possible: there are several variants of CGS, which ...

  4. Coherence (units of measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(units_of...

    Coherence may be restored, without changing the units, by choosing k = 3.6; then the kilometre per hour is a coherent derived unit, with 1 kmph = 1 m/s, and the metre per second is a non-coherent derived unit, with 1 m/s = 3.6 m/s. A definition of a physical quantity is a statement that determines the ratio of any two instances of the quantity.

  7. Barye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barye

    1.450377 × 10 −5 psi The barye (symbol: Ba), or sometimes barad , barrie , bary , baryd , baryed , or barie , is the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) unit of pressure . It is equal to 1 dyne per square centimetre .

  8. Statcoulomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statcoulomb

    1 and q G 2 are the two electric charges, and r is the distance between the charges. This serves to define charge as a quantity in the Gaussian system. The statcoulomb is defined such that if two electric charges of 1 statC each and have a separation of 1 cm, the force of mutual electrical repulsion is 1 dyne. [1] Substituting F = 1 dyn, q G 1 ...

  9. Vietnamese units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_units_of...

    Originally, many thước of varying lengths were in use in Vietnam, each used for different purposes. According to Hoàng Phê (1988), [1] the traditional system of units had at least two thước of different lengths before 1890, [2] the thước ta (lit. "our ruler") or thước mộc ("wooden ruler"), equal to 0.425 metres (1 ft 4.7 in), and the thước đo vải ("ruler for measuring ...
