Question

How many grams is present in 16.7 kilograms?

Answer 1

Kilogram and gram are basic units of mass. It is an SI unit where SI stands for International System of Units. Kilogram can be represented by symbol Kg whereas gram can be represented by the symbol g. These are widely used measurements in science.

Complete answer: Gram can be defined as the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a meter and at the temperature of the melting ice. But nowadays the definition of gram is somewhat modified which can be described as the one thousand of the SI base unit kilogram or we can mathematically write it as $1\times {{10}^{-3}}$kg.
Whereas the term kilogram is defined as the mass of one liter of water. This is said to be a simple definition but it is very difficult to use in daily practice. Now kilogram is defined in terms of second and the meter based on the fundamental constants of nature.
The above discussion concludes that 1 Kg will be equal to 1000 g then we can also calculate that 16.7 kg will also be thousand times in g i.e. $16.7\times 1000=16700$g.
Hence we can say that 16.7 kilograms will equal to 16700 g.

Note: The kilogram is defined in terms of three fundamental physical constants which can be defined as speed of light represented by the symbol$c$, specific atomic transmittance frequency represented as $\Delta {{\nu }_{Cs}}$ and planck’s constant represented by symbol $h$.
