In a system of units the units of length is defined as the distance travelled by light in space in 1 s and the unit of time taken by the earth to revolve round the sun once. Find the velocity unit in CGS system.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In this system unit distance `= 3xx10^(10)` cm and unit time = 365.25 d = `3.156 xx 10^(7)` s
`:.` Velocity unit in this system
`=(3xx10^(10))/(3.156xx10^(7))=950.57 "cm".s^(-1)`.
