Convert dynes to newtons
Type the number of dynes that you wish to convert to newtons.
How to Convert Dynes to Newtons
The dyne and newton are both units of force. By definition, 1 newton equals exactly 100000 dynes. This means to convert dynes to newtons, you divide by 100000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 dyn to newtons:
We need to convert dynes to newtons
Since 1 N = 100000 dyn, divide by 100000
5 ÷ 100000 = 5e-5
5 dyn = 5e-5 N

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.
Newton (N)
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force equal to kg·m/s²—the force needed to accelerate 1 kg by 1 m/s². An apple weighs about 1 newton. Human bite force is 500-700 N. Car engines produce 1,500-3,000 N of thrust. Named after Sir Isaac Newton.
