Week - 1 - Consistency of units

Conversion from SI Unit (Kg, m, s) to (gm, mm, ms)

Entity

Calculation

Conversion Factor from (Kg, m, s) to (gm, mm, ms)

Mass

1kg = 1000 gm

1e+3

Length

1m = 1000 mm

1e+3

Time

1s = 1000 ms

1e+3

Force

1 N = 1 Kg m/s2

= (1 Kg * 1 m)/ (1 s* 1 s)

= (1000 gm * 1000 mm)/ (1000 ms* 1000 ms)

= 1 gm mm/ms2

1

Stress

1 Pa = 1 Kg/ (m s2)

= (1 Kg)/ (1 m* 1 s* 1 s)

= (1000 gm)/ (1000 mm* 1000 ms* 1000 ms)

= 1e-6 gm/ (mm *ms2)

1e-6

Energy

1 Nm = 1 Kg m2/s2

= (1 Kg * 1 m * 1 m)/ (1 s* 1 s)

= (1000 gm * 1000 mm * 1000 mm)/ (1000 ms* 1000 ms)

= 1000 gm mm2/ms2

1e+3

Density

1 Kg/m3

= 1 Kg / (1 m * 1 m * 1 m)

= 1000 gm / (1000 mm * 1000 mm * 1000 mm)

= 1e-6 gm /mm3

1e-6

Youngs Modulus

1 GPa = 1 * 109 * Kg/ (m s2)

=109 * (1 Kg)/ (1 m* 1 s* 1 s)

= 109 * (1000 gm)/ (1000 mm* 1000 ms* 1000 ms)

= 1000 gm/ (mm *ms2)

1e-6

Velocity

1 kmph = 1 km / h

= 1 km /1 h

= 1e+6 mm / 3.6e+6 ms

= (1 / 3.6) mm/ ms

3.6

g

1 m/s2

= 1 m / (1 s * 1 s)

= 1000 mm / (1000 ms * 1000 ms)

= 1e-3 mm / ms2

1e-3
