Prerequisite: Switch Case in C/C++
Problem Statement: 
Write a menu-driven program using the Switch case to convert the CGS system to MKS system and vice versa.
Approach: 
MKS(Meter-Kilogram-Second) System: The MKS System of units refers to the physical measurement system in which the Dimensions length, weight and time are measured in Meters, Kilograms and Seconds respectively.
 

MKS System:

Length - meters (m)
Weight - kilograms (kg)
Time - seconds (s)

CGS(Centimeter-Gram-Second) System: The CGS System of units refers to the physical measurement system in which the Dimensions length, weight and time are measured in Centimeters, Grams and Seconds respectively.
 

CGS System:

Length - centimeters (cm)
Weight - grams (g)
Time - seconds (s)

How to convert MKS to CGS? 
In order to convert the MKS system to the CGS system, the conversion is done as follows:
 

For Length:
Since, 
    1 meter = 100 centimeter
Therefore, 
    multiply the given length value by 100.

For Weight:
Since, 
    1 kilogram = 1000 gram
Therefore, 
    multiply the given weight value by 1000.

For Time:
Since, 
    1 second = 1 second
Therefore, 
    The time value will remain the same.

How to convert CGS to MKS? 
Inorder to convert the CGS system to MKS system, the conversion is done as follows:
 

For Length:
Since, 
    1 centimeter = 1/100 met
Therefore, 
    divide the given length value by 100.

For Weight:
Since, 
    1 gram = 1/1000 kilogram
Therefore, 
    divide the given weight value by 1000.

For Time:
Since, 
    1 second = 1 second
Therefore, 
    The time value will remain the same.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
Program: 
 

CPP




// C++ menu-driven program using the Switch case
