What are Dyne and Kilogram-force

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force specified in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, symbolized by 'dyn'. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. This unit, although not widely used in everyday applications, plays a crucial role in scientific calculations involving CGS measurements.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force is a unit of force that is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is commonly used in some applications. It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. One kilogram-force is equal to 9.80665 newtons, the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity, acting on one kilogram of mass.
