Gram-Centimeter Per Second (g-cm/s) is a unit in the category of Linear momentum. It is also known as gram centimeter per second, gram centimetre per second. This unit is commonly used in the cgs unit system. Gram-Centimeter Per Second (g-cm/s) has a dimension of MLT^-1 where M is mass, L is length, and T is time. It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit kg-m/s by multiplying its value by a factor of 1E-005.

Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).

Other units in the category of Linear momentum include A.u. of Linear Momentum (a.u.), Bole (g-cm/s), Newton-Second (N-s), and Pound Force-Second (lbf-s).
