Question

Define 1 Newton and 1 Dyne.

Answer 1

Force:

1. 1 Newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogramme by $1\frac{\text{m}}{{\text{s}}^2}$ in the direction of the applied force.
2. The SI unit of force is Newton.
3. One dyne is the force required to accelerate a mass of one gramme at a rate of $1\frac{\text{cm}}{{\text{s}}^2}$.
4. One Newton equals ${10}^5$ dynes.
5. $1Newton={10}^{5}dynes$
