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 \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 \text{ N} = 10^{5} \text{ dyn}

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

Hectonewton [hN]

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

1 hectonewton (hN) equals $10^{2}$ newtons (100 newtons).
It is used to measure moderate forces, such as those encountered in mechanical engineering or smaller-scale industrial applications.
To put it into perspective:

1 \text{ hN} = 100 \text{ N}

Hectonewtons provide a convenient way to express forces larger than newtons but smaller than kilonewtons.
