About these units

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.

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.
