About these units

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.

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.
