Question

1 erg = how much dyne x _____.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1 erg (erg) = 1.00 dyne centimeters (dyn cm)

Answer 2

1 erg (erg) = 1.00 dyne centimeters (dyn cm)
Equivalently, the dyne is defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared": 1 dyn = 1 g·cm/s2 = 10−5 kg·m/s2 = 10−5 N. The dyne per centimeter is the unit traditionally used to measure surface tension.
