\( g c m s^{-2} \) is also known as
- A. newton
- B. erg
- C. pascal
- D. dyne
Step-by-step solution
The unit g cm s^{-2} is the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of force, defined as 1 dyne = 1 g cm s^{-2}. The newton (A) is the SI unit of force, the erg (B) is the CGS unit of energy, and the pascal (C) is the SI unit of pressure.
