In this book, we have used both MKS and CGS units. USCS units or FPS units used in the USEdition of the book have been converted to SI units throughout the text and problems. However, incase of data sourced from handbooks, government standards, and product manuals, it is not only extremely difficult to convert all values to SI, it also encroaches upon the intellectual property of the source. | Copyright 2010 Cengage Learning.
