How to convert dynes to newtons
N = dyn × 0.00001Multiply the value in dynes by 0.00001. To go the other way, multiply by 100,000 (or divide by 0.00001).
A dyne is smaller than a newton: it takes 100,000 dynes to make one newton.

About the units
Dyne (dyn)
The CGS unit of force: 1 g⋅cm/s² = 10⁻⁵ N. One dyne equals 0.00001 newtons (N).
Newton (N)
The SI unit of force: 1 kg⋅m/s². An apple weighs about 1 N.
Frequently asked questions
How many newtons are in one dyne?
There are 0.00001 newtons in one dyne, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert dynes to newtons?
Multiply the number of dynes by 0.00001. For example, 10 dyn × 0.00001 = 0.0001 N.
How many dynes are in one newton?
One newton equals 100,000 dynes. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.00001.
What is 10 dynes in newtons?
10 dyn = 0.0001 N.
Is this dyn to N converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
