How to Convert Dynes to Gram-force
The dyne and gram-force are both units of force. 1 gram-force equals 980.665 dynes. This means to convert dynes to gram-force, you divide by 980.665.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 dyn to gram-force:
We need to convert dynes to gram-force
Since 1 gf = 980.665 dyn, divide by 980.665
5 ÷ 980.665 = 0.0050985811
5 dyn = 0.0050985811 gf

About These Units
Dyne (dyn)
A dyne is the CGS unit of force equal to 10⁻⁵ newtons—the force needed to accelerate 1 gram by 1 cm/s². Dynes appear in older scientific literature and surface tension measurements. One newton equals 100,000 dynes.
Gram-force (gf)
A gram-force (gf or pond) equals 0.00981 newtons—the force exerted by 1 gram under standard gravity. Gram-force measures delicate forces: fishing line strength, keyboard key force (45-60 gf typically), and small spring tensions.
