A dyne is a unit of force within 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.
Definition of Gram-forceA gram-force is a unit of force in the gravitational metric system. It is the force exerted by gravity on one gram of mass. The standard acceleration due to gravity is 9.80665 m/s², which defines the gram-force value.
| Dyne per Square Centimeter (dyn/cm²) | Gram-force per Square Centimeter (gf/cm²) |
|---|---|
| 1 dyn/cm² | 1.01972e-3 gf/cm² |
| 10 dyn/cm² | 1.01972e-2 gf/cm² |
| 50 dyn/cm² | 5.0986e-2 gf/cm² |
| 100 dyn/cm² | 0.101972 gf/cm² |
| 200 dyn/cm² | 0.203944 gf/cm² |
| 500 dyn/cm² | 0.50986 gf/cm² |
| 1000 dyn/cm² | 1.01972 gf/cm² |
| 2000 dyn/cm² | 2.03944 gf/cm² |
| 5000 dyn/cm² | 5.0986 gf/cm² |
| 10000 dyn/cm² | 10.1972 gf/cm² |
1 dyn/cm² = 1.01972e-3 gf/cm²
1 gf/cm² = 980.665 dyn/cm²
Example 1:
Convert 100 dyn/cm² to gf/cm²:
100 dyn/cm² = 100 × 1.01972e-3 gf/cm² = 0.101972 gf/cm²
Example 2:
Convert 2000 dyn/cm² to gf/cm²:
2000 dyn/cm² = 2000 × 1.01972e-3 gf/cm² = 2.03944 gf/cm²
The dyne per square centimeter to gram-force per square centimeter conversion has roots in the early measurements of force. The distinction between these two units originates from their respective systems, with dynes belonging to CGS (centimeter-gram-second) and gram-force to the gravitational metric system.
Discover how the dyn/cm² to gf/cm² converter plays a crucial role in various practical applications.
Example 1:
To convert 250 dyn/cm² to gf/cm²:
250 dyn/cm² = 250 × 1.01972e-3 gf/cm² = 0.25493 gf/cm²
Example 2:
To convert 750 dyn/cm² to gf/cm²:
750 dyn/cm² = 750 × 1.01972e-3 gf/cm² = 0.76479 gf/cm²
