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.

Kilogram-Force [kgf]

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity.

It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram under Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m/s²).
Mathematically:

1 \text{ kgf} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ N}

Although not an SI unit, kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and industries to express force more intuitively related to mass.

Example: A force of 10 kgf corresponds to approximately 98.07 newtons.
