Understanding Force Units: Millinewtons and Dynes
What is a Millinewton (mN)?
A millinewton is one-thousandth (1/1000) of a newton, the SI unit of force. One millinewton is the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one meter per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
What is a Dyne (dyn)?
A dyne is the unit of force in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system. One dyne is the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. It's commonly used in scientific measurements and calculations.
