Convert dyne to newtons
Dyne
The dyne (dyn) is the unit of force in the centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimetre per second squared, giving it a value of exactly 10−5 newtons. The dyne was widely used in classical physics, particularly in electromagnetism and fluid dynamics literature before the SI system was standardized. It remains in use in some specialized scientific fields, including surface science, where surface tension is expressed in dynes per centimetre.
