Mention the MKS and GGS unit of work and define them and also write the dimensional formula of work .

Answer»

Solution :MKS unit of work `("kg m"^(2))/(s^(2))` .It is also known as JOULE .
Joule : Work done is said to be one joule, " When a force of one Newton actually moves a body through a distance of one metre in the direction of applied force . "
` :.1 "Joule " = 1 Nm = (1 " kg m"^(2))/(s^(2))`
CGS unit of work is `(" g cm"^(2))/(s^(2))` .It alsoknown as ERG .
Erg: Work daone is saidto beone erg . " When a force of one day DYNE actuallymoves a body through a distanceof one cm inthe direction of APPLIEDFORCE ".
` :. 1 "er = 1 dyne cm = 1 " ("g cm"^(2))/(s^(2))`
SI unit of work is Joule (J) : J = Ns
Dimensional formulaof work is`[M^(1)L^(2)T^(-2)]` [ Joule = `10^(7)`erg]
Some practical units of work /energy shown in table (in Joule )
