Dynes redirects here. For the president of the University of California system, see Robert C. Dynes. In physics, the dyne (symbol "dyn") is a unit of force specified in the centimeter-gram-second (cgs) system of units, a predecessor of the modern SI. One dyne is equal to exactly 10-5 newtons. Further, the dyne can be defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared."
