Dyne (dyn)
The dyne is a CGS unit of force — the push needed to accelerate one gram at one centimeter per second squared, or 10⁻⁵ newtons.
Dynes appear in older physics texts and micro-scale force measurements in centimeter-gram-second systems.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 dyn = 0.00001 N
1 N = 100000 dyn
To convert dyne to newton, multiply by 0.00001.
To convert newton to dyne, multiply by 100000.
Example: convert 10 dyn to N
10 × 0.00001 = 0.0001 N
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Newton (N)
The newton is the SI unit of force — the push or pull needed to accelerate one kilogram at one meter per second squared.
Newtons quantify rocket thrust, spring ratings, and engineering loads in metric countries worldwide.
Frequently asked questions
How many newtons are in one dyne?
One dyne equals 0.00001 newtons. Multiply your dynes value by 0.00001 to convert to newtons.
What is the conversion formula?
N = dyn × 0.00001The reverse is
dyn = N × 100,000, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Dyne to Newton converter private?
