Newton (N): SI derived unit: the force that gives a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second squared.

Dyne (dyn): CGS unit: exactly 1e-5 newtons (one gram-centimeter per second squared).

How to convert newtons to dynes

To convert newtons to dynes, multiply the number of newtons by 100000.

Formula

dyn = N × 100000

Examples

  • 5 N = 5 × 100000 = 500000 dyn
  • 25 N = 25 × 100000 = 2500000 dyn
  • 100 N = 100 × 100000 = 10000000 dyn

Frequently asked questions

How many dynes are in one newton?
One newton is exactly 100000 dynes.
How do I convert dynes to newtons?
To convert dynes to newtons, multiply the number of dynes by 0.00001. The formula is N = dyn × 0.00001.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units have exact definitions and the factor 100000 is exact. Displayed results are only rounded when they have many decimal places.
Which is larger, a newton or a dyne?
A newton is 100000 times larger than a dyne. In other words, a dyne is exactly 1/100000 of a newton.
