The SI units of force is newton such that `1N="1kg ms"^(-2)`. In C.G.S. system, force is expressed in dyne.
How many dyne of force is equivalent to a force of 5 N?

AI Generated Solution

To convert a force of 5 Newtons (N) into dynes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between Newtons and dynes. 1 Newton (N) is defined as \(1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2\). In the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, the unit of force is the dyne, where: \[ 1 \, \text{dyne} = 1 \, \text{g} \cdot \text{cm/s}^2 \] ### Step 2: Convert the SI units to CGS units. - Convert kilograms to grams: ...
