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.
Kilonewton (kN)
- Definition
- A kilonewton (kN) is 1,000 newtons, a convenient size for structural and automotive forces.
- History
- It is a metric multiple of the newton.
- Current use
- Kilonewtons rate structural loads, crash forces, and rocket thrust.
