About these units
Dyne (dyn)
- Definition
- A dyne is the CGS unit of force equal to 10⁻⁵ newtons, the force to accelerate one gram at one centimeter per second squared.
- History
- It comes from the centimeter-gram-second system of the 19th century.
- Current use
- Dynes appear in physics, surface-tension measurements, and older literature.
Kilogram-force (kgf)
- Definition
- A kilogram-force (kgf) is the gravitational force on one kilogram, about 9.807 newtons.
- History
- It was common in older metric engineering before the newton became standard.
- Current use
- Kilogram-force still appears in some engineering and everyday weight contexts.
