About these units

Centinewtons

A centinewton (cN) is 0.01 newtons, making it useful for expressing very small forces. It might be used in situations involving micro-robotics or precision instruments where delicate forces are applied.

Dynes

A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, where one dyne equals 10^-5 newtons. It is often used in physics to measure small forces, such as those in fluid dynamics or material science. Although less common today, the dyne is still found in some specialized fields.
