Giganewton [GN]

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

1 giganewton (GN) equals $10^{9}$ newtons.
This unit is used to express very large forces, such as those encountered in heavy engineering projects, large-scale structures, or significant natural forces like earthquakes.
To put it in perspective:

1 \text{ GN} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{9} \text{ N}

Giganewtons help quantify forces far beyond everyday scales but smaller than teranewtons and above.

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.
