How to Convert Millinewtons to Dynes

To convert a millinewton measurement to a dyne measurement, multiply the force by the conversion ratio. One millinewton is equal to 100 dynes, so use this simple formula to convert:

dynes = millinewtons × 100

The force in dynes is equal to the millinewtons multiplied by 100.

For example, here's how to convert 5 millinewtons to dynes using the formula above.

5 mN = (5 × 100) = 500 dyn

Millinewtons and dynes are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Millinewtons

One millinewton is equal to 1/1,000 of a newton, which is equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.

The millinewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for 10^-3. Millinewtons can be abbreviated as mN, for example 1 millinewton can be written as 1 mN.

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
