Answer:

The advantage of the SI unit over CGS unit are:

  • S.I has broader base. It has seven base units and two supplementary units.
  • S.I is metric.
  • S.I is coherent.
  • S.I is rational, i.e. it gives one unit for one physical quantity .e g. for energy of any type i.e, mechanical or heat or electrical.There is only one unit Joule(J) but in M.K.S system unit for mechanical energy is joule.

Units of measurements

The advantage that SI unit has over CGI is that it has only one unit for each measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

CGS: Also known as Gaussian units

Length is measure in cm (centimeter)

Mass is measured in g (gram)

Time is measured in s (second).

SI unit: The International System of Units

Length is measure in meter (m)

Mass is measured in kilogram (kg)

Time is measured in seconds (s)

In summary with the SI unit student do not need to store any conversion factors in memory
