Detailed Solution

The SI unit of the Gravitational constant is G= 6.67 ×10-11 N kg-2m2

We know that the unit of force in the cgs system is dyne, and the unit of mass is a gram.

The length unit is centimeters.

1Newton = 105  dyne,  

 1metre = 100 centimeters , and

 1kilogram = 1000gram

Using appropriate conversions,

G= 6.67 ×10-11 N kg-2m2

 G= 6.67 × 10-11 ( 105 dyne) ×(1000g)-2×(100cm)2

 G = 6.67 ×10-8 dyne g-2cm2

 

Hence, the gravitational constant in the cgs unit equals  6.67 ×10-8 dyne g-2cm2.
