Q1:

One Newton is equal to __________ dynes.

A 102

B 103

C 104

D 105

ANS:D - 105

In the International System of Units (SI), a Newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force. It's defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. On the other hand, a dyne (symbol: dyn) is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-gram mass by one centimeter per second squared. To convert between Newtons and dynes, we need to consider the conversion factor between the two systems. In CGS units: 1 Newton = 10^5 dynes This means that one Newton is equivalent to 10^5 dynes. So, when asked for the equivalent value of one Newton in dynes, the answer is 10^5, or 100,000 dynes.
