Teranewton [TN]


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



  • 1 teranewton (TN) equals 101210^{12} newtons.



  • It is used to express extremely large forces, such as those found in planetary science, large-scale engineering, or astrophysics.



  • To give perspective:



1 TN=1,000,000,000,000 N=1012 N1 \text{ TN} = 1,000,000,000,000 \text{ N} = 10^{12} \text{ N}

Teranewtons are useful for describing massive forces far beyond typical human-made scales but smaller than petanewtons or exanewtons.



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 gร—1 cm/s2=10โˆ’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.
