Convert dyne to nanonewton
Please provide values below to convert dyne [dyn] to nanonewton [nN], or Convert nanonewton to dyne.
1 dyn = 10000 nN. To convert dyne to nanonewton, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nN = 0.0001 dyn). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dyn = 10000 nN
- 1 nN = 0.0001 dyn
- 10 dyn = 100000 nN
- 100 dyn = 1000000 nN
How to Convert Dyne to Nanonewton
1 dyn = 10000 nN
Example: convert 15 dyn to nN:
15 dyn = 15 × 10000 nN = 150000 nN

Dyne
A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.
History/Origin
The dyne was introduced as part of the CGS system of units in the late 19th century, serving as a smaller force unit compared to the Newton, to facilitate calculations in physics and engineering involving small forces.
Current Use
The dyne is primarily used in theoretical physics and certain specialized scientific fields; however, it has largely been replaced by the Newton in most practical applications and international standards.
Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
