What are Dyne and Gram-force

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.

A 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.

History of Dyne and Gram-force

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.
