The correct Answer is:
To find the density of water in the SI system using dimensional analysis, we start with the known density of water in the CGS system. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Density**: Density (ρ) is defined as mass (m) per unit volume (V). The formula for density is: \[ \rho = \frac{m}{V} \] 2. **Known Value in CGS**: In the CGS system, the density of water is given as: \[ \rho_{CGS} = 1 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] 3. **Converting Units**: We need to convert the CGS units to SI units. - 1 gram (g) = \(10^{-3}\) kilograms (kg) - 1 centimeter (cm) = \(10^{-2}\) meters (m) 4. **Expressing Density in SI Units**: Now, we can express the density in SI units: \[ \rho_{SI} = \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{1 \, \text{cm}^3} \] Substituting the conversions: \[ \rho_{SI} = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg}}{(1 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m})^3} \] 5. **Calculating Volume in SI Units**: The volume in SI units becomes: \[ (1 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m})^3 = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^3 \] 6. **Final Calculation of Density**: Now substituting back into the density formula: \[ \rho_{SI} = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg}}{1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^3} = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the density of water in the SI system is: \[ \rho_{SI} = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \]
