1 newton is equal to 10510^5105 dyne, i.e.,
1 N = 100000 dyne.

Quick Scoop

Direct conversion

  • In words: One newton equals one hundred thousand dyne.
  • In scientific notation: 1 N=105 dyne1\text{ N}=10^5\text{ dyne}1 N=105 dyne.

Why this value?

  • Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as 1\text{ N}=1\text{ kg·m/s}^2.
  • Dyne is the CGS unit of force, defined as 1\text{ dyne}=1\text{ g·cm/s}^2.
  • Using 1\text{ kg}=1000\text{ g} and 1\text{ m}=100\text{ cm}, you get:
    1\text{ N}=1000\times 100\text{ g·cm/s}^2=10^5\text{ dyne}.

Tiny example

If a force is 2 N, in dyne it is:

  • 2\text{ N}=2\times 10^5=200000\text{ dyne}.
