Density Unit Conversion

The density of a material in CGS system of units is \(4\text{ g/cm}^3\). In a system of units in which unit of length is \(10\text{ cm}\) and unit of mass is \(100\text{ g}\), the value of density of material will be:

\(0.4\)
\(40\)
\(400\)
\(0.04\)

Solution:

Given \(\rho = 4\text{ g/cm}^3\). New mass unit \(M' = 100\text{ g}\) and new length unit \(L' = 10\text{ cm}\). \(\rho = 4 \frac{1/100 M'}{(1/10 L')^3} = 4 \frac{1/100}{1/1000} \frac{M'}{L'^3} = 40 \frac{M'}{L'^3}\).
