where L= length, A= area of cross- section of the wire, 
Change in length of the wire when stretched with a force F. The conversion factor to change it from CGS to MKS system is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
We know that the dimension of young's modulus is 
C.G.S. unit : gm 
and M.K.S. unit : kg . m –1 sec –2
By using the conversion formula: 
Conversion factor
