What is another word for cgs system?
Pronunciation: [sˌiːd͡ʒˌiːˈɛs sˈɪstəm] (IPA) 
CGS, an abbreviation for the Centimeter-Gram-Second system, is a measurement system used in physics and engineering. This baseline measurement system includes three primary units: centimeter as the unit of length, gram as the unit of mass, and second as the unit of time. Other synonyms for the CGS system include the Gaussian system of units, which measures electromagnetic quantities, a cgs-based system of units that include a set of physical units for materials, and the Heaviside-Lorentz cgs system, which defines the fundamental units of charge and current. Despite being less commonly used than the SI system of measurement, the cgs system remains an essential and useful tool for many applications.
