Millinewton [mN]


Millinewton is a small unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).



  • 1 millinewton (mN) equals 10−310^{-3} newtons (0.001 newton).



  • It is commonly used to measure very small forces, such as in microengineering, delicate instrumentation, or biomechanical applications.



  • To put it in perspective:



1 mN=0.001 N1 \text{ mN} = 0.001 \text{ N}

Millinewtons are useful for expressing forces smaller than centinewtons, allowing precise measurement of low-force phenomena.


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.
