What are Newton and Dyne

Definition of Newton

A Newton (N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit of force honors Sir Isaac Newton, the eminent physicist who formulated the laws of motion.

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force specified in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. This unit helps scientists and engineers work with smaller forces.

20 N/cm² 200000000 dyn/cm²
50 N/cm² 500000000 dyn/cm²

Conversion of Newton to Dyne

1 N/cm² = 10^5 dyn/cm²
1 dyn/cm² = 10^-5 N/cm²

Example 1:
Convert 0.5 N/cm² to dyn/cm²:
0.5 N/cm² = 0.5 × 10^5 dyn/cm² = 50000 dyn/cm²

Example 2:
Convert 2 N/cm² to dyn/cm²:
2 N/cm² = 2 × 10^5 dyn/cm² = 200000 dyn/cm²

History of Newton and Dyne

The history of converting Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) to Dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm²) stems from the need to bridge the gap between the SI and CGS systems of units. This conversion has facilitated scientific and engineering calculations across different disciplines, ensuring coherence and precision in measurements.
