In physics, the dyne (symbol "dyn", from Greek δύναμις (dynamis) meaning power, force)'s a unit of force specified in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units, a predecessor of the modern SI. One dyne's equal to exactly 10 micronewtons. Equivalently, the dyne's 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 The dyne… (More on Dyne)
