Ounce-Force [ozf]


Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force used mainly in the Imperial and US customary systems.



  • It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one ounce (oz) under standard Earth gravity.



  • Since there are 16 ounces in a pound-force, mathematically:



1 ozf=116 lbf0.278 newtons1 \text{ ozf} = \frac{1}{16} \text{ lbf} \approx 0.278 \text{ newtons}

  • Ounce-force is typically used for measuring small forces in applications like mechanical devices, small-scale forces, or packaging.



  • It provides a convenient way to express forces smaller than a pound-force in everyday and engineering contexts.




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=105 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.
