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 gร—1 cm/s2=10โˆ’5 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.


Meganewton [MN]


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



  • 1 meganewton (MN) equals 10610^{6} newtons (1,000,000 newtons).



  • It is commonly used to measure very large forces in engineering, such as the thrust of rocket engines or loads on large structures.



  • To give perspective:



1 MN=1,000,000 N=106 N1 \text{ MN} = 1,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{6} \text{ N}

Meganewtons are useful for quantifying forces much greater than those in everyday life but smaller than giganewtons and above.
