dyne
- noun
- /daɪn/
- Archaic
- The optical micrometer is able to reliably detect forces in excess of 2 dynes; therefore, the force generated by electromagnetic interference (EMI) was less than 2 dynes.
- 2 dynes
Examples
-
The only force generated was due to the permanent magnet in the telephone receiver and was measured at 10 dynes.

Academic text (1998) -
This force is equivalent to 98 times the maximum possible output of the device (50 dynes).
Academic text (1998) -
An accurate measurement of the force output of the SIMEHD was obtained (14-25 dynes/ma).

Academic text (1998) -
A pushing force was first applied, up to a maximum of 20 gms (19,600 dynes), followed by a pulling force using a hook, again up to a maximum of 20 gms.
Academic text (1998) -
The micrometer was extensively studied and calibrated, and was found to be very linear and reliable in measuring small displacements and forces (resolution of 2-3 dynes).

Etymology
The word dyne comes from the Greek dynamis, meaning 'power' or 'force'. You can see the same root in words like dynamic and dynamite, so a dyne is a small unit scientists use to measure force.
