What are Newton and Dyne

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. The Newton quantifies the amount of force applied to an object to create motion, embodying the fundamental principles of mechanics established by Isaac Newton.

Definition of Dyne

A Dyne, symbolized as 'dyn', is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-gram mass by one centimeter per second squared. This unit represents a smaller magnitude of force compared to the Newton and is used in fields where fine measurements of force are necessary.

Newton to Dyne Conversion Table

Newton per square meter (N/m^2) Dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2)
1 N/m^2 10 dyn/cm^2
2 N/m^2 20 dyn/cm^2
5 N/m^2 50 dyn/cm^2
10 N/m^2 100 dyn/cm^2
20 N/m^2 200 dyn/cm^2
50 N/m^2 500 dyn/cm^2
100 N/m^2 1000 dyn/cm^2
200 N/m^2 2000 dyn/cm^2
500 N/m^2 5000 dyn/cm^2
1000 N/m^2 10000 dyn/cm^2

Conversion of Newton to Dyne

1 N/m^2 = 10 dyn/cm^2
1 dyn/cm^2 = 0.1 N/m^2

Example 1:
convert 15 N/m^2 to dyn/cm^2:
15 N/m^2 = 15 × 10 dyn/cm^2 = 150 dyn/cm^2

Example 2:
convert 75 N/m^2 to dyn/cm^2:
75 N/m^2 = 75 × 10 dyn/cm^2 = 750 dyn/cm^2

History of Newton and Dyne

The conversion of pressure units from Newton per square meter (N/m^2) to Dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) has a practical history rooted in the evolution of scientific measurements. As the SI system became globally adopted for uniformity, the need for converters to bridge the old CGS system became evident, culminating in tools like ours.
