A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. In other words, one dyne is equivalent to 10 micronewtons (μN). The dyne is particularly useful in physics and engineering when dealing with small forces, and it remains an important unit in various scientific fields.
Definition of NewtonA newton is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work in classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. One newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is widely used in various scientific and engineering disciplines to quantify force and is essential for understanding and applying the principles of physics.
Dyne Centimeter (dyn cm) | Newton Centimeter (N cm) |
---|---|
1 dyn cm | 1e-5 N cm |
10 dyn cm | 1e-4 N cm |
50 dyn cm | 5e-4 N cm |
100 dyn cm | 1e-3 N cm |
500 dyn cm | 5e-3 N cm |
1000 dyn cm | 1e-2 N cm |
5000 dyn cm | 5e-2 N cm |
10000 dyn cm | 0.1 N cm |
50000 dyn cm | 0.5 N cm |
100000 dyn cm | 1 N cm |
1 dyn cm = 1e-5 N cm
1 N cm = 1e5 dyn cm
Example 1:
convert 5000 dyn cm to N cm:
5000 dyn cm = 5000 × 1e-5 N cm = 0.05 N cm
Example 2:
convert 2.5 N cm to dyn cm:
2.5 N cm = 2.5 × 1e5 dyn cm = 250000 dyn cm
Historically, the Dyne Centimeter to Newton Centimeter Converter arose from the need to convert between the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit system and the SI (International System of Units) system. This conversion tool bridges the gap between the dyne, used for smaller forces, and the newton, the SI unit for force. It allows for precise calculations in various scientific and engineering applications, facilitating communication and data consistency across different measurement systems.
The Dyne Centimeter to Newton Centimeter Converter is an essential tool for accurately converting dyn cm to N cm, significantly aiding in various practical applications.
Example 1:
Convert 200 dyn cm to N cm:
200 dyn cm = 200 × 1e-5 N cm = 0.002 N cm
Example 2:
Convert 0.03 N cm to dyn cm:
0.03 N cm = 0.03 × 1e5 dyn cm = 3000 dyn cm
