Decinewton [dN]


Decinewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 decinewton (dN) equals 10110^{-1} newtons (0.1 newton).



  • It is used to measure small forces, especially in contexts where forces less than one newton need to be expressed conveniently.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 dN=0.1 N1 \text{ dN} = 0.1 \text{ N}

Decinewtons help quantify forces smaller than a newton but larger than centinewtons.



Dyne [dyn]


The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units.



  • Defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 dyn=1 g×1 cm/s2=105 newtons1 \text{ dyn} = 1 \text{ g} \times 1 \text{ cm/s}^2 = 10^{-5} \text{ newtons}

  • The dyne is much smaller than the newton and is used primarily in physics and engineering fields that use the CGS system.



  • For comparison:



1 N=105 dyn1 \text{ N} = 10^{5} \text{ dyn}

Dyne is often used in fields like material science, mechanics, and electromagnetism when dealing with small forces.
