Dyne

dyn

Definition

The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. The dyne is equal to 10^-5 Newtons.

History/Origin

The dyne was introduced as part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units in the 19th century. It was widely used in physics and engineering before the adoption of the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system. The name comes from the Greek word "dynamis" meaning power or force.

Current Use

Still used in some areas of physics, particularly in fluid dynamics and surface tension measurements. Common in chemistry for measuring surface tension and in some engineering applications. Used in some scientific instruments and laboratory equipment.

Kilopond

kp

Definition

The kilopond is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. The kilopond is equal to approximately 9.81 Newtons.

History/Origin

The kilopond was introduced as part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units in the 19th century. It was widely used in physics and engineering before the adoption of the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system. The name comes from the Latin word "pondus" meaning weight.

Current Use

Still used in some areas of physics and engineering, particularly in Europe. Common in some engineering applications where the CGS system is still used. Used in some scientific instruments and laboratory equipment that were designed using the CGS system.
