Newtons (N)
Definition
A newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram at a rate of 1 meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²).
History
The newton was named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his foundational work on classical mechanics. It was adopted as the SI unit of force in 1948 by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM).
Current use
The newton is the standard unit of force in science, engineering, and industry worldwide. It is used in structural engineering, automotive design, aerospace, biomechanics, and virtually every discipline involving forces.
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.
