Dyne dyn
About the Dyne
The dyne is the force that accelerates one gram at one centimetre per second squared, exactly 10 micronewtons. It belongs to the centimetre-gram-second system promoted by the British Association for the Advancement of Science in the 1870s. Surface tension is still sometimes quoted in dynes per centimetre.
