  2. Dyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyne

    The dyne per centimetre is a unit traditionally used to measure surface tension. For example, the surface tension of distilled water is 71.99 dyn/cm at 25 °C (77 °F). [ 4 ] ( In SI units this is 71.99 × 10 −3 N/m or 71.99 mN/m .)

  3. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

  4. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    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, or kg·m·s −2.The corresponding CGS unit is the dyne, the force required to accelerate a one gram mass by one centimeter per second squared, or g·cm·s −2. A newton is thus equal to ...

  5. Erg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erg

    An erg is the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimetre. In the CGS base units, it is equal to one gram centimetre-squared per second-squared (g⋅cm 2 /s 2). It is thus equal to 10 −7 joules or 100 nanojoules in SI units. 1 erg = 10 −7 J = 100 nJ; 1 erg = 10 −10 sn⋅m = 100 psn⋅m = 100 ...

  6. Statcoulomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statcoulomb

    1 and q G 2 are the two electric charges, and r is the distance between the charges. This serves to define charge as a quantity in the Gaussian system. The statcoulomb is defined such that if two electric charges of 1 statC each and have a separation of 1 cm, the force of mutual electrical repulsion is 1 dyne. [1] Substituting F = 1 dyn, q G 1 ...

  9. Poundal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poundal

    Since a pound of force (pound force) accelerates a pound of mass at 32.174 049 ft/s 2 (9.80665 m/s 2; the acceleration of gravity, g), we can scale down the unit of force to compensate, giving us one that accelerates 1 pound mass at 1 ft/s 2 rather than at 32.174 049 ft/s 2; and that is the poundal, which is approximately 1 ⁄ 32 pound force.
