Question

1 Dyne = _____ N.

Answer 1

Dyne

1. A dyne is a force unit in physics defined by the centimetre-gram-second (cgs) system of units, with the sign "Dyne".
2. One dyne is the same as 10 - 5 Newtons.
3. The dyne can also be described as "the force necessary to accelerate a mass of one gramme at a rate of one centimetre per second squared at a rate of one centimetre per second squared."
4. We know the force is given as,

$Force=mass\times acceleartion$

5. Using the following relation,

$$\begin{gathered} 1dyn=\frac{1g.cm}{s^2} \\ =\frac{{10}^{-5}kg.m}{s^2} \\ ={10}^{-5}N \\ =0.00001N \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 1 Dyne = $0.00001$ N.
