type: Unit
description: In physics, the $dyne$ is a unit of force specified in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units. The $dyne$ is a unit of force specified in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units. One $dyne$ is equal to $\SI{10}{\micro\newton}$. Equivalently, the $dyne$ is defined as 'the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimetre per square second'. A $\textit{dyne per centimetre}$ is the unit traditionally used to measure surface tension.
