dyne

D0229900 (dīn)n. Abbr. dyn A centimeter-gram-second unit of force, equal to the force required to impart an acceleration of one centimeter per second per second to a mass of one gram.

[From Greek dunamis, power; see dynamic.]

dyne

(daɪn) n (Units) the cgs unit of force: the force that imparts an acceleration of 1 centimetre per second per second to a mass of 1 gram. 1 dyne is equivalent to 10^-5 newton or 7.233 × 10^-5 poundal[C19: from French, from Greek dunamis power, force]

dyne

(daɪn)

n. the standard centimeter-gram-second unit of force, equal to the force that produces an acceleration of one centimeter per second per second on a mass of one gram. Abbr.: dyn [1835–45; < French < Greek dýnamis force, power]

dyne

(dīn) A unit of force equal to the amount of force required to give a mass of one gram an acceleration of one centimeter per second for each second the force is applied.

dyne

A unit of force equal to that needed to produce an acceleration of 1 centimeter per second in a mass of one gram. Replaced in the international system by the newton (N): 1 dyne = 10-5 N.

dyne

[dīn] (mechanics) The unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second system of units, equal to the force which imparts an acceleration of 1 cm/s² to a 1 gram mass.

dyne

A unit of force in the CGS system. It is the force required to accelerate one gram by one centimeter per second squared.

dyne

[dīn] a unit of force, being the amount that when acting continuously upon a mass of 1 g will impart to it an acceleration of 1 cm per second per second. It is equal to 10⁻⁵newton.

dyne

(dīn), The unit of force in the CGS system, replaced in the SI system by the newton (1 N = 10⁵ dynes), that gives a body of 1 g mass an acceleration of 1 cm/sec²; expressed as F (dynes) = m (grams) × a (cm/sec²). [G. dynamis, force]
