To show that \( 1 \, \text{N/m}^2 = 10 \, \text{dyne/cm}^2 \) using dimensional analysis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the units involved - **Newton (N)** is the SI unit of force, defined as \( 1 \, \text{N} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2 \). - **Dyne** is the CGS unit of force, defined as \( 1 \, \text{dyne} = 1 \, \text{g} \cdot \text{cm/s}^2 \). ### Step 2: Convert 1 N to dynes We know that: ...
