What are Dyne and Mercury

A dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to exactly 10 micronewtons. It is the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.

Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is commonly known as quicksilver and was formerly named hydrargyrum. A heavy, silvery d-block element, mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.

History of Dyne and Mercury

A brief history of the dyn/cm² to cmHg conversion: Originating from the CGS system, the dyne per square centimeter measures force per unit area, while centimeters of mercury, established from the use of mercury in barometers, denotes pressure. The converter bridges these units, reflecting their relevance in scientific measurements.
