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

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

    For example, the CGS unit of force is the dyne, which is defined as 1 g⋅cm/s 2, so the SI unit of force, the newton (1 kg⋅m/s 2), is equal to 100 000 dynes. On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena (involving units of charge , electric and magnetic fields, voltage , and so on), converting between CGS and SI is less ...

  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 ...

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

    One may apply any unit one pleases to the proportionality constant. If one applies the unit s 2 /lb to it, then the foot becomes a unit of force. In a four-unit system (English engineering units), the pound and the pound-force are distinct base units, and the proportionality constant has the unit lbf⋅s 2 /(lb⋅ft). [12] [13]

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statcoulomb

    The statcoulomb (statC), franklin (Fr), or electrostatic unit of charge (esu) is the unit of measurement for electrical charge used in the centimetre–gram–second electrostatic units variant (CGS-ESU) and Gaussian systems of units. In terms of the Gaussian base units, it is
