Convert Newtons to Dynes
N to dyn · force conversion
What are newtons and dynes?
The newton is the SI unit of force, the force to accelerate 1 kg at 1 m/s². A dyne is the CGS unit of force, equal to 10 micronewtons. For reference: holding a 1 kg object takes about 9.8 N of force against gravity.
How to convert newtons to dynes
1 N = 100,000 dyn. To convert, multiply the number of newtons by 100,000. For example, 5 N = 500,000 dyn, and 20 N = 2,000,000 dyn. To go the other way, multiply dynes by 0.00001 (since 1 dyn = 0.00001 N).

FAQ
What is 1 N in dyn?
1 N = 100,000 dyn. To convert any amount, multiply the number of newtons by 100,000.
How do I convert dynes back to newtons?
Go the other way: 1 dyn = 0.00001 N, so multiply dynes by 0.00001 to get newtons.
Is a newton bigger than a dyne?
Yes — 1 N is the larger unit, equal to 100,000 dyn.
Are these force conversions exact?
They use the standard internationally-defined conversion factors. Results are rounded to six significant figures for readability, which is accurate enough for everyday and most technical use.
