The correct Answer is:
To determine the units of density in both the C.G.S (Centimeter-Gram-Second) and S.I (International System of Units) systems, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Density**: - Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} \] 2. **Finding C.G.S Units**: - In the C.G.S system: - Mass is measured in grams (g). - Volume is measured in cubic centimeters (cm³). - Therefore, the unit of density in the C.G.S system can be expressed as: \[ \text{Density}_{\text{C.G.S}} = \frac{\text{grams}}{\text{centimeter}^3} = \text{g/cm}^3 \] 3. **Finding S.I Units**: - In the S.I system: - Mass is measured in kilograms (kg). - Volume is measured in cubic meters (m³). - Thus, the unit of density in the S.I system can be expressed as: \[ \text{Density}_{\text{S.I}} = \frac{\text{kilograms}}{\text{meter}^3} = \text{kg/m}^3 \] ### Final Answer: - The units of density are: - (i) C.G.S: \( \text{g/cm}^3 \) - (ii) S.I: \( \text{kg/m}^3 \)
