Convert Dynes to Kilograms-force
dyn to kgf · force conversion
What are dynes and kilograms-force?
A dyne is the CGS unit of force, equal to 10 micronewtons. A kilogram-force is the gravitational force on one kilogram of mass, 9.807 N. For reference: holding a 1 kg object takes about 9.8 N of force against gravity.
How to convert dynes to kilograms-force
1 dyn = 0.00000101972 kgf. To convert, multiply the number of dynes by 0.00000101972. For example, 5 dyn = 0.00000509858 kgf, and 20 dyn = 0.0000203943 kgf. To go the other way, multiply kilograms-force by 980,665 (since 1 kgf = 980,665 dyn).
