About Dyne and Newton

Detailed information about both units of measurement.

CGS UNIT

Dyne

dyn
Definition
The CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a 1-gram mass at 1 centimeter per second squared.
SI / Standard Information
1 dyn = 10⁻⁵ N = 0.00001 N. Historically important in early physics and still used in fluid mechanics.
Approximate Comparison
One dyne is an extremely small force—roughly equal to the weight of a single grain of fine sand.
Practical Applications
  • Surface tension and interfacial energy measurement (dynes/cm)
  • Acoustic sound pressure and micro-mechanical force analysis
  • Viscosity and shear stress calculations in fluid dynamics
  • Electrostatic and magnetostatic microscopic force modeling
Real-World Examples
  • The surface tension of pure water at 20°C is approximately 72.8 dynes per centimeter
  • An electrostatic deflection plate in a cathode-ray tube exerts forces measured in dynes
  • A sound wave at ordinary conversational volume exerts a acoustic pressure of a few dynes per square centimeter
METRIC UNIT

Newton

N
Definition
The SI derived unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a 1 kilogram mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared.
SI / Standard Information
1 N = 1 kg·m/s². Named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics.
Approximate Comparison
One Newton is approximately equal to the weight of a small apple (102 g) under Earth's gravity.
Practical Applications
  • Structural engineering load calculations
  • Automotive and aerospace thrust ratings
  • Physics and mechanical laboratory testing
  • Material tensile and yield strength testing
Real-World Examples
  • An apple weighing 102 grams exerts about 1 Newton of force on a table
  • A human bite exerts around 700 to 1,300 Newtons of force
  • A midsize car engine produces around 3,000 to 5,000 Newtons of tractive force
