The correct Answer is:
To convert the atmospheric pressure from CGS (centimeter-gram-second) to SI (International System of Units), we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given value The atmospheric pressure is given as \(10^6\) dynes/cm². ### Step 2: Identify the units - In the CGS system, pressure is measured in dynes per square centimeter (dyn/cm²). - In the SI system, pressure is measured in Newtons per square meter (N/m²). ### Step 3: Convert dynes to Newtons 1 Newton (N) is defined as \(10^5\) dynes. Therefore, we can convert dynes to Newtons using the following relationship: \[ 1 \text{ dyne} = 10^{-5} \text{ N} \] ### Step 4: Convert cm² to m² 1 square meter (m²) is equal to \(10^4\) square centimeters (cm²). Therefore, we can convert cm² to m² using the following relationship: \[ 1 \text{ cm}^2 = 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Set up the conversion Now, we can express the conversion from dynes/cm² to N/m²: \[ \text{Pressure in N/m²} = \text{Pressure in dyn/cm²} \times \left(\frac{10^{-5} \text{ N}}{1 \text{ dyne}}\right) \times \left(\frac{1 \text{ cm}^2}{10^{-4} \text{ m}^2}\right) \] ### Step 6: Substitute the values Substituting the given pressure value: \[ \text{Pressure in N/m²} = 10^6 \text{ dyn/cm}^2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ N/dyne} \times 10^4 \text{ cm}^2/\text{m}^2 \] ### Step 7: Simplify the expression Now, we simplify the expression: \[ \text{Pressure in N/m²} = 10^6 \times 10^{-5} \times 10^4 \text{ N/m}^2 \] \[ = 10^{6 - 5 + 4} \text{ N/m}^2 \] \[ = 10^{5} \text{ N/m}^2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of atmospheric pressure in SI units is: \[ \text{Pressure} = 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2 \] ---
