Convert Ounces-force to Dynes

1 ounce-force is 27,801.385095 dyn. One ounce-force is exactly 27801.3850954 dynes.

One ounce-force is 27801.385 dynes. To convert ounces-force to dynes, multiply by 27801.385; to go the other way, divide by 27801.385 or multiply by 3.5969 × 10^-5. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. A sixteenth of a pound-force.

What is an ounce-force?

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

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.

How many dynes are in an ounce-force?

One ounce-force is 27801.385 dynes. Going the other way, one dyne is 3.5969 × 10^-5 ounces-force. 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.
