The conversion calculations from SI to g/mm/ms is evaluated below:

Mass 1kg =1000 g (conversion factor is 1000)

Length 1m =1000 mm (conversion factor is 1000)

Time 1 s =1000 ms (conversion factor is 1000)

Force 1 N = 1 kg.m/(s^2) = 1000 g. 1000 mm/(10^6 )(ms^2) = 1 (g.mm/(ms^2)) [conversion factor is 1]

Stress 1 Pa = 1N/(m^2) = 1(g.mm/(ms^2))/(10^6)(mm^2) = 10^(-6) (g/ mm.(ms^2)) [conversion factor is 10^-6]

Energy 1J = 1N.m = 1 (g.mm/(ms^2)) * 1000 mm = 1000 (g. (mm/ms)^2) [conversion factor is 1000]

Density 1 (kg/m^3) = 1000 g/ 10^9 (mm^3) = 10^(-6) (g / (mm^3)) [conversion factor is 10^-6]

Young's modulus has same units as stress, therefore 210 GPa = 210*(10^3) (g/ mm.(ms^2)) [conversion factor is 10^-6]

Velocity 15.6472 m/s = 15.6472 mm/ms [conversion factor is 1]

Gravity 9.8 m/(s^2) = 9.8 *1000 mm/ (10^6) (ms^2) = 9.8*10^(-3) (mm/(ms^2)) [conversion factor is 10^-3]
