If the value of (universal gravitational constant) is unit, then determine the value in CGS system.
Prerequisite: System of units.
Step 1: Find the SI unit of universal gravitation constant
The universal gravitational constant is the gravitational force acting between two bodies of unit mass, kept at a unit distance from each other.
So, the SI unit of is .
Step 2: Convert the SI unit of into C.G.S unit
So, the value of 1 SI unit of in CGS units is .
Step 3: Calculate the value of SI units of into C.G.S units
As calculated from the previous step, we have:
Thus, the value of in the C.G.S system is (or simply ).
