​Show how the numerical value of a physical quantity changes with the size of unit used in the measurement of the physical quantity

Dear Student,

let suppose you have to find the weight of the body in CGS and MKS . CGS is smaller base quantity system then MKS . lets compare .

MKS  weight of 1kg massW=mgg=10 m/s2  for MKSW=10 Nin MKS system CGS  weight of 1000g massW=mgg=1000 cm/s2  for CGSW=1000*1000=106 dyne   the unit of force in CGSin MKS the value is 10 and in CGS the same thing has thevalue 106   so this is how the base quantity matter.Regards
