Question

Define absolute units of force in CGS as well as SI system.

✓

Answer

Absolute unit of force in CGS system is dyne and in SI system is Newton (N).
One dyne: When the body of mass 1 gram moves with an acceleration of $1 cms ^{-2}$, then the force acting on the body is called one dyne.
1 dyne $=1 g cms ^{-2}$
One Newton: When a body of mass 1 kg moves with an acceleration of $1 ms^{-2}$, then force acting on the body is said to be one newton.
OR
That force is said to be one newton, which producers an acceleration of $1 ms^{-2}$ in a body of mass 1 kg .
$1 N=1 kg ms ^{-2}$
