The newton comes from the MKS (kg-m-s) system
The dyne comes from the CGS (cm-g-s) system.
This means that:
1N=1 kg*m/s²
1dyn=1 g*cm/s²
And therefore that
1N=10^5 dyn

Newton is the SI unit of force, equivalent to 1 kg*m/s^2. Dyne is the CGS unit of force, equivalent to 10^-5 N. They are related through the conversion factor: 1 N = 10^5 dynes.
Newton is a measure of force. Pascal is a measure of pressure. Pressure p = force F / area A. 1 pascal is 1 newton per square meter.
A Newton is a measure of force
A Pascal (symbol: Pa) is a unit of pressure which is 1 Newton per Metre squared (N/m2)
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.
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 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).
Newton's laws of motion describe how objects move in response to external forces, while planetary motion refers to the motion of planets in space under the influence of gravitational forces. Newton's law of universal gravitation helps explain the motion of planets in their orbits around the sun by describing the gravitational attraction between celestial bodies.
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
