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
