Q6. What is the relationship between dyne and newton of force?

(a) 1 dyne [tex]$= 10^{-5}$[/tex] newton

(b) 1 dyne [tex]$= 10^{-7}$[/tex] newton

(c) 1 dyne [tex]$= 10^5$[/tex] newton

(d) 1 dyne [tex]$= 10^7$[/tex] newton



Answer :

To determine the relationship between dyne and newton of force, we can refer to the Centimeter-Gram-Second (CGS) and the International System of Units (SI) systems of measurement.

In the CGS system, the unit of force is the dyne, while in the SI system, the unit of force is the newton. It is essential to understand the conversion factor between these two units.

The relationship is as follows:
1 dyne [tex]\( = 10^{-5} \)[/tex] newton

This means that one dyne is equal to [tex]\( 10^{-5} \)[/tex] newton. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is:

(a) 1 dyne [tex]\( = 10^{-5} \)[/tex] newton
