Convert newtons to dynes
Enter the number of newtons that you want to convert to 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
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 N to dynes:
We need to convert newtons to dynes
Since 1 N = 100000 dyn, multiply by 100000
5 × 100000 = 500000
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.
