The correct Answer is:
To express a force of 10 Newtons (N) in terms of dynes, we need to understand the relationship between these two units of force. 1. **Understanding the Units**: - 1 Newton (N) is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kilogram (kg) at a rate of 1 meter per second squared (m/s²). - 1 dyne is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 gram (g) at a rate of 1 centimeter per second squared (cm/s²). 2. **Conversion Factors**: - We know that: - 1 N = 10^5 dynes (since 1 N = 1 kg·m/s² and 1 kg = 1000 g and 1 m = 100 cm). - Therefore, to convert Newtons to dynes, we can use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ N} = 10^5 \text{ dynes} \] 3. **Calculating the Force in Dynes**: - Now, we can express 10 N in dynes: \[ 10 \text{ N} = 10 \times 10^5 \text{ dynes} \] - This simplifies to: \[ 10 \text{ N} = 10^6 \text{ dynes} \] 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the force of 10 Newtons is equal to \( 10^6 \) dynes. ### Summary: - 10 N = \( 10^6 \) dynes.
