Gram-force To Dyne Converter

Seamlessly Convert gf·cm² to dyn·cm² with Our Reliable Tool

Discover the ease of converting gram-force square centimeters to dyne square centimeters. Our intuitive tool, developed by Newtum, makes conversions simple, sparking your curiosity to explore more.

What are Gram-force and Dyne

A gram-force is a unit of force in the metric system. It is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass under the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface, which is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared. This results in one gram-force being equivalent to 9.80665 dynes.

A dyne is a unit of force 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. Thus, one dyne equals exactly 10^-5 newtons.

History of Gram-force and Dyne

The Gram-force sq. Centimeter to Dyne square Centimeter Converter is rooted in the transition from the metric system to the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system. The converter allows for the conversion of the gram-force per square centimeter, a unit of pressure or mechanical stress, to the dyne per square centimeter, offering precision in scientific calculations.
