About Dyne (dyn)
The CGS unit of force, one dyne equals 10 micronewtons -- the force needed to accelerate one gram at one centimeter per second squared. While largely replaced by the newton in modern science, the dyne persists in surface tension measurements (dynes per centimeter) in chemistry and materials science.
