Solutions:
The C.G.S unit of work is erg and S.I unit of work is Joule.
We know that the relation between joule and erg is given by the expression –
1N × 1m = 1 joule
Also,
1 N = 105 dyne
1 m = 102 cm
Therefore, we have –
1 joule = 105 dyne × 102 cm
= 107 dyne × cm = 107 erg
Hence, 1 joule = 107 erg
