$What is the density of water in kgdm -3 if its density in gcm -3 is 0.863?$

1

$7.86$

2

$0.863$

3

$8.63$

4

$4.6$

Official Solution

Correct Option: $(2)$

$Concept: When converting units of density, it's important to understand the relationship between different metric volume and mass units. In this case, we are asked to convert the density of water from grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) to kilograms per cubic decimeter (kg/dm³) . Let’s break it down: • 1 gram (g) = 0.001 kilogram (kg) • 1 cubic centimeter (cm³) = 0.001 cubic decimeter (dm³) So, when we convert both the numerator (mass) and the denominator (volume), the factors cancel out: 1 g/cm³ = Step-by-step: • Given density = 0.863 g/cm³ • Using the equivalence above, this directly converts to: \to 0.863 kg/dm³ Conclusion: Since 1 g/cm³ = 1 kg/dm³, the density of water remains numerically the same when converted between these units. Thus, the correct answer is (B) 0.863 .$

$Find the Current unit conversion from SI to CGS.$

Official Solution

Correct Option: $(1)$

$To convert current units from the International System of Units (SI) to the Centimeter-Gram-Second (CGS) system, you can use the following conversion factor, which relates the two systems of measurement: In the CGS system, the base unit for measuring electric current is the statampere (stat A), which is different from the Ampere used in the SI system. The relationship between the Ampere and the statampere is such that one Ampere in the SI system is equivalent to statamperes in the CGS system. Therefore, to convert a current value from the SI system to the CGS system, you multiply the value in Amperes by, which means you increase the current by a factor of 1000 . For example, let’s say you have a current of 1 Ampere in the SI system. The conversion to the CGS system would be: If you have 5 Amperes in the SI system, it can be converted to the CGS system as follows: So, 5 Amperes in the SI system is equal to 5000 Amperes in the CGS system. It's important to note that although the CGS system was once used in scientific applications, it has been largely replaced by the more universally adopted SI system . The SI system offers more convenience and consistency in modern physics and engineering, which is why CGS units are no longer as commonly used in practical applications today. However, the conversion factor remains a useful tool when working with older data or in certain fields that still use CGS units.$
