To convert the density of wood from the CGS (Centimeter-Gram-Second) system to the MKS (Meter-Kilogram-Second) system, we need to understand the relationship between the two systems and apply the appropriate conversion factors.



In the CGS system, the basic units of length, mass, and time are centimeters (cm), grams (g), and seconds (s) respectively. The unit of density in the CGS system is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).



In the MKS system, the basic units of length, mass, and time are meters (m), kilograms (kg), and seconds (s) respectively. The unit of density in the MKS system is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).



To convert the density from the CGS system to the MKS system, we need to use the appropriate conversion factor.

The conversion factor for density is given by:
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³

This conversion factor allows us to convert the density unit from g/cm³ to kg/m³.



Given that the density of wood in the CGS system is 0.5 g/cm³, we can use the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the MKS system.

Density in MKS system = Density in CGS system * Conversion factor

Density in MKS system = 0.5 g/cm³ * 1000 kg/m³
Density in MKS system = 500 kg/m³

Therefore, the corresponding value of the density of wood in the MKS system is 500 kg/m³.



The conversion factor is used to convert the unit of density from g/cm³ to kg/m³. Since 1 g/cm³ is equal to 1000 kg/m³, we multiply the density value in the CGS system by the conversion factor to obtain the equivalent value in the MKS system.

In this case, the density of wood in the CGS system is 0.5 g/cm³. By multiplying it with the conversion factor, we find that the density of wood in the MKS system is 500 kg/m³.

By converting the unit of density, we can express the density of wood in a different system, making it easier to compare and analyze with other materials or quantities in the MKS system.
