Facts about Centigram

Basic fact: A centigram [cg] is a unit of weight and mass in SI (the International System of Units), the contemporary form of the metric system of measurement. The centigram is relative to units of mass that are used to measure many everyday objects, this is a very small unit of measurement. For instance, a person who weighs 70 kilograms weighs 7,000,000 centigrams, so it is more convenient to discuss mass in terms of kilograms.

Use: Centigrams are not widely used for everyday measurements; they are more likely to be used in laboratory settings for precise measurements of mass. Centigrams may not be normally used is because grams and milligrams are two other units of mass that are used rather frequently, both of which are equal in magnitude to centigrams.

Fact about Kilogram

Baci fact: A kilogram [symbol: kg] is the base unit of mass in the SI (International System of Units). It is also known as “kilogramme.” Based on fixed fundamental constants of nature, the kilogram nowadays is defined in terms of the second and the meter. The actual size of the unit remained the same, even though the definition of the kilogram was changed in 2019. Mentioned changes were intended to enhance the definitions of SI base units.

History: The name of this mass unit was derived from the French [kilogramme], which in turn came from adding Greek terminology meaning [a thousand] before the Late Latin term [gramma] that meant “a small weight.”

With an SI prefix, the kilogram is the only SI base unit. SI is a system based on the system of units: meter-kilogram-second rather than a centimeter-gram-second system. This is at least partly due to the lack of coherence and inconsistencies that can occur through the use of centimeter-gram-second systems, like those between the systems of electromagnetic and electrostatic units.

In 1794, the kilogram was initially defined as the mass of one liter of water at its freezing point, though, ultimately defined, since measuring the mass of a volume of water was cumbersome and imprecise.

In 2019, based on Planck’s constant and changes to the definition of the second, a new definition of the kilogram was introduced. Prior to that definition, the kilogram was defined as being equivalent to the mass of a physical prototype, a cylinder made of a platinum-iridium alloy, which was an inadequate measure. The mass of the initial prototype for the kilogram now weighs 50 micrograms less than other copies of the standard kilogram.

Use: The kilogram is used globally in almost all fields and applications, with the exception of countries like the United States, where the kilogram is used in many areas, at least to some degree [such as science, government, industry, and the military] but normally not in everyday applications.

How many kilograms in a centigram? 

1 centigram is equivalent to 0.000001 kilograms. Use 0.000001 as the factor to convert centigrams to kilograms. Below find some popular centigrams to kilograms conversion questions:

• How many kilograms in 5 centigrams?  5 centigrams x 0.000001 = 0.000005 number kilograms
• How many kilograms in 10 centigrams? 10 centigrams x 0.000001 = 0.00001 number kilograms
• How many kilograms in 20 centigrams? 20 centigrams x 0.000001 = 0.00002 number kilograms
• How many kilograms in 50 centigrams? 50 centigrams x 0.000001 = 0.00005 number kilograms
• How many kilograms in 100 centigrams? 100 centigrams x 0.000001 = 0.0001 number kilograms
• How many kilograms in 1000 centigrams? 1000 centigrams x 0.000001 = 0.001 number kilograms
