Week - 1 - Consistency of units
Aim:
To convert measurements in one system of units to another and explain the detailed conversion for SI to gm/mm/ms unit.

From the table, we can clearly tell the conversion factors for each system of units.
Explanation for conversion from SI to gm/mm/ms system:
Force 1N = 1000*1000/1000000=1
Stress 1 Pa = 1/(1000^2)=10e-6
Energy 1Nm = 1*1000=1000
Density 1 Kg/m3 = 1000/(1000^3)=10e-6
Young's Modulus 210GPa = 210e+9*10e-6=210e3
Velocity56.33Kmph = (56.33e+3/3600)*1000/1000=15.64722
Gravity 9.8m/s2 = 9.8*1000/(1000^2)=0.0098
