dyne/centimeter to newton/meter
Please provide values below to convert dyne/centimeter [dyn/cm] to newton/meter [N/m], or change ↔.
dyne/centimeter [dyn/cm]
Definition: A unit of force per unit length, where 1 dyne is the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 gram by 1 cm/s².
Historyandorigin: The dyne is part of the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, and the unit of force per centimeter is used for precise force measurements.
CurrentUse: Mainly used in the CGS system for forces in small-scale scientific experiments, particularly in fluid dynamics.
funfact: The dyne was widely used in older physics literature before the more universally accepted newton was adopted.
newton/meter [N/m]
Definition: A unit of surface tension, representing the force per unit length along a surface.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the SI unit for force (newton) divided by the unit of length (meter).
CurrentUse: Commonly used in fluid mechanics and material science to describe the surface tension of liquids.
funfact: This unit is important in the study of liquids' behavior at interfaces, like drops of water on a surface.

How to Convert dyne/centimeter to newton/meter
1 dyne/centimeter [dyn/cm] = 0.001 newton/meter [N/m]
1 newton/meter [N/m] = 1000 dyne/centimeter [dyn/cm]
we use cross multiplication method
dyne/centimeter [dyn/cm] → newton/meter [N/m]
1 → 0.001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0015
