One newton equals 100,000 dynes. The dyne is the CGS unit of force while the newton is the SI unit.
The dyne is used in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system, common in older physics literature and some specialized fields like surface tension measurement.
Multiply the number of dynes by 0.00001 (or divide by 100,000). For example, 100,000 dyn = 1 N.
The dyne is largely replaced by the newton in modern SI usage, but it still appears in surface chemistry (dyn/cm for surface tension) and some legacy scientific texts.
