A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-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 centimeter per second squared. The term 'dyne' originates from the Greek word 'dynamis,' meaning power or force. Although not commonly used today, the dyne serves as a crucial historical unit in physics and engineering, primarily in the study of small-scale forces.
Definition of PetanewtonA petanewton (PN) is an exceptionally large unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). One petanewton is equivalent to 10^15 newtons. Given its magnitude, the petanewton is typically used to measure extraordinarily large forces, such as those encountered in astrophysics and planetary sciences. The prefix 'peta-' denotes a factor of 10^15, making it a suitable unit for quantifying immense forces that are otherwise impractical to express in newtons.
| Dyne (dyn) | Petanewton (PN) |
|---|---|
| 1 dyn | 1e-20 PN |
| 10 dyn | 1e-19 PN |
| 100 dyn | 1e-18 PN |
| 1,000 dyn | 1e-17 PN |
| 10,000 dyn | 1e-16 PN |
| 100,000 dyn | 1e-15 PN |
| 1,000,000 dyn | 1e-14 PN |
| 10,000,000 dyn | 1e-13 PN |
| 100,000,000 dyn | 1e-12 PN |
| 1,000,000,000 dyn | 1e-11 PN |
1 dyn = 1e-20 PN
1 PN = 1e+20 dyn
Example 1:
Convert 5 dyn to PN:
5 dyn = 5 × 1e-20 PN = 5e-20 PN
Example 2:
Convert 3.5 dyn to PN:
3.5 dyn = 3.5 × 1e-20 PN = 3.5e-20 PN
The dyne to petanewton converter emerged as a necessity to bridge the gap between the CGS and SI units of force. Initially, the dyne was widely used in scientific research, but as the SI system gained prominence, converting to larger units like the petanewton became essential. This tool simplifies the transition, ensuring accurate and efficient conversion of force measurements for modern scientific applications.
Our Dyn to PN Converter offers practical solutions for converting dynes to petanewtons, making it valuable in various scientific and industrial applications.
Example 1:
Convert 250 dyn to PN:
250 dyn = 250 × 1e-20 PN = 2.5e-18 PN
Example 2:
Convert 1,000 dyn to PN:
1,000 dyn = 1,000 × 1e-20 PN = 1e-17 PN
Q1: How do I use the Dyne to Petanewton Converter?
A1: Simply enter the value in dynes, click 'Convert,' and the result in petanewtons will be displayed instantly.
Q2: Is the conversion result accurate?
A2: Yes, the converter provides highly accurate results based on the standard conversion factor between dynes and petanewtons.
