What are Dyne and Kilonewton

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to the force that imparts an acceleration of 1 cm/s² to a mass of 1 gram. It is a derived unit that provides a basic measure of force in the CGS system, where it is a fundamental concept for scientific calculations involving kinetics and dynamics.

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) and is equal to 1,000 newtons. It measures the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. Kilonewtons are widely used in engineering, construction, and physics to quantify large forces.
