A dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. It's a fundamental concept in physics, representing a small but measurable quantity of force.
Definition of TorrThe torr is a unit of pressure, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It's defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (atm). Historically, it was intended to represent the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at the Earth's surface, which approximates to one torr.
| Dyne per Square Centimeter (dyn/cm²) | Torr |
|---|---|
| 1 dyn/cm² | 0.00133322 Torr |
| 10 dyn/cm² | 0.0133322 Torr |
| 50 dyn/cm² | 0.0666611 Torr |
| 100 dyn/cm² | 0.133322 Torr |
| 200 dyn/cm² | 0.266644 Torr |
| 500 dyn/cm² | 0.666611 Torr |
| 1000 dyn/cm² | 1.33322 Torr |
| 2000 dyn/cm² | 2.66644 Torr |
| 5000 dyn/cm² | 6.66611 Torr |
| 10000 dyn/cm² | 13.3322 Torr |
1 dyn/cm² = 0.00133322 Torr
1000 dyn/cm² = 1.33322 Torr
Example 1:
convert 1500 dyn/cm² to Torr:
1500 dyn/cm² = 1500 × 0.00133322 Torr = 2 Torr
Example 2:
convert 2500 dyn/cm² to Torr:
2500 dyn/cm² = 2500 × 0.00133322 Torr = 3.33305 Torr
The Dyne per Square Centimeter to Torr Converter has roots in the fields of physics and engineering. It bridges two historical units of pressure: the dyne, from the CGS system, and the torr, named after Evangelista Torricelli, which measures pressure based on mercury's height in a barometer.
Understanding the real-world impact of converting dyn/cm² to Torr is fundamental for various scientific and industrial applications.
Example 1:
To convert 300 dyn/cm² to Torr:
300 dyn/cm² × 0.00133322 = 0.399966 Torr
Example 2:
To convert 750 dyn/cm² to Torr:
750 dyn/cm² × 0.00133322 = 1 Torr
