The conversion results are calculated using precise formulas to ensure accuracy for most practical purposes.

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.

Joule per Centimeter [J/cm]

Joule per centimeter is a unit of energy per unit length.

It measures how much energy is distributed or transferred over each centimeter.
Since 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter, joule per centimeter is related to joule per meter by:

1 \text{ J/cm} = 100 \text{ J/m}

Like joule per meter, this unit is used to describe energy density along a line, such as tension in a wire or energy stored per unit length in materials.
Also, it can relate to force, since:
