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.
Newton (N)
- Definition
- The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, the force that accelerates one kilogram at one meter per second squared.
- History
- Named after Isaac Newton, it was adopted as the SI force unit in 1948.
- Current use
- Newtons measure force, weight, and thrust throughout physics and engineering.
