(A) The density of wood is given as $0.5 \; g/cm^3$.To convert this to $MKS$ units $(kg/m^3)$,we use the conversion factors:$1 \; g = 10^{-3} \; kg$$1 \; cm^3 = (10^{-2} \; m)^3 = 10^{-6} \; m^3$Therefore,$0.5 \; g/cm^3 = 0.5 	imes \frac{10^{-3} \; kg}{10^{-6} \; m^3} = 0.5 	imes 10^3 \; kg/m^3 = 500 \; kg/m^3$.

Density of wood is $0.5 \; g/cm^3$ in the $CGS$ system of units. The corresponding value in $MKS$ units is?
