Dynes to Newtons Conversion
Enter the force in dynes below to get the value converted to newtons.
How to Convert Dynes to Newtons
To convert a dyne measurement to a newton measurement, divide the force by the conversion ratio. One newton is equal to 100,000 dynes, so use this simple formula to convert:
The force in newtons is equal to the dynes divided by 100,000.
Dynes and newtons are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Dynes
The dyne is the force needed to move one gram of mass at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.
The dyne is a centimeter-gram-second (CGS) unit of force. Dynes can be abbreviated as dyn; for example, 1 dyne can be written as 1 dyn.
Dynes can be expressed using the formula: 1 dyn = 1 gcms2
Newtons
The newton is a unit to for measuring force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.[1]
The newton is the SI derived unit for force in the metric system. Newtons can be abbreviated as N; for example, 1 newton can be written as 1 N.
Newtons can be expressed using the formula: 1 N = 1 kgms2
