Convert newtons to dynes

Enter the number of newtons that you want to convert to dynes.

1 N (newtons) = 100000 dyn (dynes)

How to Convert Newtons to Dynes

The newton and dyne are both units of force. By definition, 1 newton equals exactly 100000 dynes. This means to convert newtons to dynes, you multiply by 100000.

Formula

dynes = newtons × 100000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 N to dynes:

1
Convert 5 N to dynes

We need to convert newtons to dynes

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 N = 100000 dyn, multiply by 100000

5 × 100000 = 500000

Answer

5 N = 500000 dyn

About These Units

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.

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.
