Convert Dynes to Ounces-force

1 dyne is 0.000036 ozf. One dyne is exactly 0.000035969430896 ounces-force.

One dyne is 3.5969 × 10^-5 ounces-force. To convert dynes to ounces-force, multiply by 3.5969 × 10^-5; to go the other way, divide by 3.5969 × 10^-5 or multiply by 27801.385. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. Exactly a hundred-thousandth of a newton, from the older centimetre-gram-second system.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Special Publication 811 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.

How do you convert dynes to ounces-force?

  1. 1.Take the measurement in dynes.
  2. 2.Multiply by 3.5969 × 10^-5 — that is how many ounces-force fit in one dyne.
  3. 3.To go back the other way, divide by 3.5969 × 10^-5, or multiply by 27801.385.

Worked example: 25 dynes to ounces-force

Formula
dyn × 3.5969 × 10^-5 = ozf
Arithmetic
25 × 3.5969 × 10^-5 = 0.000899 ozf
Answer
25 dyn = 0.000899 ozf

The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a dyne?

Exactly a hundred-thousandth of a newton, from the older centimetre-gram-second system. Surface tension and older physics texts still use it.

What is an ounce-force?

A sixteenth of a pound-force. Spring tensions, switch actuation and small-motor specifications are given here.

How many ounces-force are in a dyne?

One dyne is 3.5969 × 10^-5 ounces-force. Going the other way, one ounce-force is 27801.385 dynes. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
