Question

Convert 5 Newton in dyne

Answer 1

Hello!

Change one system of unit in other system by first write the quantity in terms of fundamental quantities and then apply unit conversion rules.

Then,

Force = m × a

1 N = 1 kg × 1 ms⁻¹

✓ Change into CGS system :

• 1 kg = 1000 g

• 1 m = 100 cm

• 1 s² = 1 s²

In CGS unit, 1 N = (1000 g) × 100 cms⁻¹

1 N = 100000 g cms⁻² = 10⁵ dyne

Therefore,

5 N = 5 × 10⁵ dyne
