Definition:Force/Unit

Definition
The units of measurement of force are as follows:


 * The SI unit of force is the newton $\mathrm N$:
 * $1 \ \mathrm N = 1 \ \mathrm{kg} \ \mathrm{m} \ \mathrm{s}^{-2}$


 * The CGS unit of force is the dyne $\mathrm {dyn}$:
 * $1 \ \mathrm {dyn} = 1 \ \mathrm{g} \ \mathrm{cm} \ \mathrm{s}^{-2}$

Thus we see:
 * $1 \ \mathrm N = 10^5 \ \mathrm {dyn}$
