1.000 dyne (dyn) = 1.000e-5 N

  • The conversion factor for Force is exactly: 1 dyne (dyn) = 1.000e-5 N.
  • One dyne is the force needed to accelerate 1 gram at 1 cm/s squared. It takes 100,000 dynes to equal one newton.
  • CGS units remain common in astrophysics, geophysics, and some chemistry fields, even though SI is the global standard.
