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

About the units
Newton (N)
The SI unit of force: 1 kg⋅m/s². An apple weighs about 1 N.
Dyne (dyn)
The CGS unit of force: 1 g⋅cm/s² = 10⁻⁵ N. One dyne equals 0.00001 newtons (N).
Frequently asked questions
How many dynes are in one newton?
There are 100,000 dynes in one newton, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert newtons to dynes?
Multiply the number of newtons by 100,000. For example, 10 N × 100,000 = 1,000,000 dyn.
How many newtons are in one dyne?
One dyne equals 0.00001 newtons. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 100,000.
What is 10 newtons in dynes?
10 N = 1,000,000 dyn.
Is this N to dyn 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.
