Dynes (dyn)
Definition
A dyne (dyn) is a CGS unit of force equal to the force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 gram at 1 centimeter per second squared. It equals 10⁻⁵ newtons (0.00001 N).
History
The dyne was the standard unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, widely used in physics laboratories during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was largely replaced by the newton with the adoption of SI units.
Current use
Dynes are still used in some branches of physics, surface science, and certain older technical literature. Surface tension is sometimes expressed in dynes per centimeter (dyn/cm) in chemistry and materials science.
Kilogram-force (kgf)
Definition
A kilogram-force (kgf) is a gravitational metric unit of force equal to the force exerted by 1 kilogram of mass under standard gravity. It equals exactly 9.80665 newtons.
History
The kilogram-force was widely used in engineering and commerce before the adoption of the SI system. Many European and Asian countries used kgf as their standard force unit throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Current use
Kilogram-force remains in use in some countries and industries, particularly in China, Russia, and parts of Asia. It appears in specifications for hydraulic presses, engine thrust, and material testing.
