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 DyneA 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.
| Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) | Dyne per Square Centimeter (dyn/cm²) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 N/cm² | 100000 dyn/cm² |
| 0.1 N/cm² | 1000000 dyn/cm² |
| 1 N/cm² | 10000000 dyn/cm² |
| 2 N/cm² | 20000000 dyn/cm² |
| 3 N/cm² | 30000000 dyn/cm² |
| 4 N/cm² | 40000000 dyn/cm² |
| 5 N/cm² | 50000000 dyn/cm² |
| 10 N/cm² | 100000000 dyn/cm² |
| 20 N/cm² | 200000000 dyn/cm² |
| 50 N/cm² | 500000000 dyn/cm² |
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
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.
The Newton to Dyne converter is vital in fields where precise pressure measurements are crucial. Explore its applications below.
Example 1:
To convert 1.5 N/cm² to dyn/cm²:
1.5 N/cm² = 1.5 × 10^5 dyn/cm² = 150000 dyn/cm²
Example 2:
To convert 3 N/cm² to dyn/cm²:
3 N/cm² = 3 × 10^5 dyn/cm² = 300000 dyn/cm²
