The correct Answer is:
To express the relationship between the C.G.S. (Centimeter-Gram-Second) and S.I. (International System of Units) units of density, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for density Density (ρ) is defined as mass (M) divided by volume (V): \[ \rho = \frac{M}{V} \] ### Step 2: Identify the units in S.I. In the S.I. system: - The unit of mass is kilograms (kg). - The unit of length is meters (m). - Therefore, the unit of volume is cubic meters (m³). Thus, the S.I. unit of density is: \[ \text{Density (S.I.)} = \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{m}^3} \] ### Step 3: Identify the units in C.G.S. In the C.G.S. system: - The unit of mass is grams (g). - The unit of length is centimeters (cm). - Therefore, the unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³). Thus, the C.G.S. unit of density is: \[ \text{Density (C.G.S.)} = \frac{\text{g}}{\text{cm}^3} \] ### Step 4: Convert S.I. units to C.G.S. units To convert from S.I. to C.G.S.: 1 kg = 1000 g 1 m = 100 cm Therefore, 1 m³ = (100 cm)³ = 1,000,000 cm³ = 10^6 cm³. Now, substituting these values into the S.I. unit of density: \[ 1 \, \text{kg/m}^3 = \frac{1000 \, \text{g}}{10^6 \, \text{cm}^3} = \frac{1000}{10^6} \, \text{g/cm}^3 = \frac{1}{1000} \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] ### Step 5: Establish the final relationship From the above calculation, we can see that: \[ 1 \, \text{kg/m}^3 = \frac{1}{1000} \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] This means that: \[ 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 = 1 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] ### Conclusion The relationship between the C.G.S. and S.I. units of density is: \[ 1 \, \text{g/cm}^3 = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \]
