Dynes to Newtons Converter
Convert dynes to newtons instantly. Type a value, change either unit, or press swap to go the other way. 1 dyne = 0.00001 newtons.
1 dyne = 0.00001 newtons
How to convert dynes to newtons
newtons = dynes × 0.00001
To convert dynes to newtons, multiply the value by 0.00001. To go back from newtons to dynes, divide by the same number (or multiply by 100,000).
Worked examples
- 100 dyn: 100 × 0.00001 = 0.001 N
- 1,000 dyn: 1,000 × 0.00001 = 0.01 N
- 10,000 dyn: 10,000 × 0.00001 = 0.1 N
One dyne is 10 millionths of a newton. Divide dynes by 100,000 to get newtons.

When you need to convert dynes to newtons
The dyne belongs to the older centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system and still appears in physics textbooks, surface-tension tables and material data sheets. Converting to newtons allows you to work with modern SI formulas.
About the units
Dyne (dyn)
A dyne is the CGS unit of force, exactly 10 micronewtons. It appears in older physics texts and surface-tension values.
Newton (N)
The newton is the force that gives a one-kilogram mass an acceleration of one meter per second squared. A small apple weighs about one newton.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert dynes to newtons?
Multiply the number of dynes by 0.00001. For example, 10 dynes × 0.00001 = 0.0001 newtons.
How many newtons are in one dyne?
There are 0.00001 newtons in one dyne.
How many dynes are in one newton?
There are 100,000 dynes in one newton.
How many dynes are in a newton?
There are exactly 100,000 dynes (10⁵) in one newton. A one-gram weight on Earth exerts about 980 dynes.
Can I convert other force units with this tool?
Yes. Use the From and To drop-downs in the converter to choose any force unit, or press the swap button to reverse the conversion. All calculations use internationally defined conversion factors.
