Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To convert the gravitational constant \( G \) from the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system to the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system, we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the Units
In the CGS system:
- Mass is measured in grams (g)
- Length is measured in centimeters (cm)
- Time is measured in seconds (s)
