This document discusses different units of force and torque. It defines the CGS and SI units of force as the dyne and newton, respectively, and derives the relationship between the two. It also defines torque as the turning effect of a force on a body and discusses the CGS and SI units of torque. Finally, it introduces concepts like center of gravity, uniform linear motion, uniform circular motion, centripetal force, and centrifugal force that will be covered in subsequent chapters.

CGS unit of force Express SI unit of force Derive relationship between CGS and SI unit of force Define 1 KGF (MKS) KGF and Newton 1 kgf = 9.8 N Define moment of force or torque- the turning effect of force act on a body about a fixed axis. Unit of moment of force CGS unit of moment of force Relate SI and CGS unit of moment of force Moment of force about Axis passing through point is a product of Condition to form couple Moment Couple is the product of Principle of moments: at equilibrium the sum of anticlockwise movement equal to sum of clockwise moments.
