What is the relationship between SI units and CGS unit of work ?

1 answer:

8 0

Work SI unit = joule = N*m= [kg]*[m/s^2] *[m] = kg * m^2/s^2

Work cgs unit = erg = [g][cm/s^2][cm] = g*cm^2 / s^2

Then 1 kg * m^2 / s^2 * [1000 g/kg] * [100cm/m]^2 = 10,000,000 g*cm^2/s^2

The relation is 1 joule = 10,000,000 erg or 1 erg = 10^-7 joule

Calculate curls of the following vector functions (a) AG) 4x3 - 2x2-yy + xz2 2

Answer:

The curl is $0 \hat x -z^2 \hat y -4xy \hat z$

Explanation:

Given the vector function

$\vec A (\vec r) =4x^3 \hat{x}-2x^2y \hat y+xz^2 \hat z$

We can calculate the curl using the definition

$\nabla \times \vec A (\vec r ) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat x&\hat y&\hat z\\\partial/\partial x&\partial/\partial y&\partial/\partial z\\A_x&X_y&A_z\end{array}\right|$

Thus for the exercise we will have

$\nabla \times \vec A (\vec r ) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat x&\hat y&\hat z\\\partial/\partial x&\partial/\partial y&\partial/\partial z\\4x^3&-2x^2y&xz^2\end{array}\right|$

So we will get

$\nabla \times \vec A (\vec r )= \left( \cfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(xz^2)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial z}(-2x^2y)\right) \hat x - \left(\cfrac{\partial}{\partial x}(xz^2)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial z}(4x^3) \right) \hat y + \left(\cfrac{\partial}{\partial x}(-2x^2y)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(4x^3) \right) \hat z$
