About These Units
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.
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.
