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.


Ton-Force (Short)


The short ton-force is a unit of force based on the short ton, primarily used in the United States.



  • A short ton equals 2,000 pounds (lbs).



  • The short ton-force is the force exerted by one short ton mass under standard gravity.



  • Mathematically:



1 short ton-force=2,000 lbs×9.80665 m/s2≈8,896.44 newtons1 \text{ short ton-force} = 2,000 \text{ lbs} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 \approx 8,896.44 \text{ newtons}

  • It is used in industries like engineering and construction where forces related to short tons are relevant.



  • Note: This differs from the metric ton-force (tf) and long ton-force used in other systems.
