What are Dyne and Pound-force

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. One dyne is equal to the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. It is a relatively small unit of force, commonly used in physics to measure quantities that involve minute forces. The dyne facilitates precise calculations, especially in fields like fluid dynamics and surface tension, where small forces are prevalent. Its utility lies in its ability to offer a more manageable scale for certain scientific applications compared to larger units like the newton.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force is a unit of force commonly used in the United States and other countries where the imperial system is prevalent. It is defined as the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass at the surface of the Earth. In other words, it is the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by 32.174 feet per second squared, which is the standard acceleration due to gravity. Pound-force is widely utilized in engineering and physics, especially in disciplines concerned with mechanical systems and structures, providing a familiar scale for measuring forces in practical applications.
