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.
