DYNE (dine) The force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared Common clues: Unit of force; A bit of force; Physics unit; Newton fraction; Centimeter-gram-second Video: MIT Professor Walter Lewins' Physics Class 801 Crossword puzzle frequency: 2 times a year In physics, the dyne is a unit of force specified in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units, a predecessor of the modern SI. One dyne is equal to exactly 10 micronewtons. Equivalently, the dyne is defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimetre per second squared": 1 dyn = 1 g·cm/s² = 10−5 kg·m/s² = 10 µN
