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.
Pound-force (lbf)
A pound-force (lbf) equals 4.448 newtons—the force exerted by 1 pound mass under standard gravity. Pound-force is the standard US unit for force, measuring thrust, tension, and weight. Torque is often expressed in pound-feet (lbf·ft).
