∙ 10y agoYes. 1 dyne is 1 g*cm/s^2 (That's gram-centimeters per second squared.)
That's 10^-5 Newtons.

Is it possible to add vectors representing force of 5 newton and 200 dyne?
Yes, it is possible to add vectors representing force as long as they have the same unit. In this case, 5 newton and 200 dyne are in different units, so you would need to convert one of them to the other unit before adding them together.
What are the other unit of force?
Other units of force include pound-force (lbf), dyne, kilogram-force (kgf), and poundal. These units can be used in different contexts depending on the system of measurement being used.
Force is measured in units called what?
Force unit is kg m s-2 This unit can be called a Newton(N) named for the English physicist. Units of force include -- newton -- poundforce, or simply "pound" -- ton -- dyne
The SI unit of force is?
Force is mass multiplied by acceleration, so force in SI base units is kg m / s2. This quantity is also the derived unit called the newton (appropriate, since Newton is the guy who came up with the formula F = ma).
Unit that measures force is called what?
the SI unit of force is the newton (symbol N), which is the force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. It is equivalent to SI kgms-2. Any other unit of force can be derived from the formula F = ma and substituting whatever units are being for those variables.Some other units of force:1 dyne = 10-5 N1 kilogram - force (kgf) or kilopound (kp) = 9.80665 N = 1 metric slug1 lbf = 32.174 poundals = 1 slug1 kgf = 2.2046 lbf
What is the c-g-s unit of force?
The cgs unit of force is the dyne. One dyne is equal to the force required to accelerate a one gram mass by one centimeter per second squared.
What is a unit of force beginning with d?
dyne
What is the unit of work if the force is dyne and the distance is in centimeter?
That unit of work (energy) is the 'dyne-centimeter' or 'erg'. 10 million ergs = 1 Joule
What is a Four letter word that means small unit of force?
dyne
1 dyne is equal to how many ergs?
A dyne is a unit of force and an erg is a unit of energy. Since they are units of different things they can't be compared as you ask.
How do you spell dyne?
The spelling "dyne" is an alternate SI unit of force equal to 10-5 newtons.The verb meaning to eat a meal is to dine.
What is the unite of force in cgs system?
The unit of force in the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system is the dyne. 1 dyne is equal to the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 gram by 1 centimeter per second squared.
How much is one dyne equal to?
A dyne is the unit of force in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system; it is equal to 0.00001 newtons (the unit in the MKS or meter-kilogram-second system); it is also equal to approximately 0.22481 pounds of force according to Wikipedia.
What the reletion between si and cgs unit of force?
The CGS unit of force is the dyne, while the SI unit of force is the newton. 1 newton is equal to 10^5 dynes.
Unit measurement for force?
The Newton (N) named after Sir Isaac Newton the first real physicist in my book.
