How to Convert Newton to Dyne
- 1 N = 100000 dyn
- 1 dyn = 0.00001 N
- Example: convert 15 N to dyn: 15 N = 15 × 100000 dyn = 1500000 dyn
Formula
dyn = N × 100000
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 N = 1 kg·m/s²
- 1 dyn = 1 g·cm/s² = 10⁻⁵ N
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Newton definition: newton; Dyne definition: dyne.
Worked examples
- 1 N is 100000 dyn.
1 N × 100000 = 100000 dyn - 0.001 N is 100 dyn.
0.001 N × 100000 = 100 dyn
