...— The centimetre-gram-second system of units is so called because it is based upon the centimetre as the unit of length, the gram as the unit of mass, and the second as the unit of time. The name of the svstem is commonly abbreviated to "CGS» In 'the CGS system, the unit of force is the... | |

...system can be evolved ; and though there have been several such systems proposed, yet the one founded on the centimeter as the unit of length, the gram as...unit of mass, and the second as the unit of time, has met with the greatest favour. It has for many years been the only one employed in scientific work,... | |
