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=10−5 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.


Newton [N]


The newton (N) is the SI unit of force.



  • It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.



  • Mathematically:



1 N=1 kg⋅m/s21 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2

  • Named after Sir Isaac Newton for his work on classical mechanics.



  • Commonly used to measure forces such as weight, tension, and thrust in physics and engineering.



Example: The weight of a 1 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 9.8 N.
