Dyne/Square Centimeter as a Unit of Pressure
The dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm²) is a unit of pressure that is part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. In this system, pressure is defined as force applied per unit area. One dyne is equal to the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second squared.
To understand this unit, it is important to note that 1 dyn/cm² equals 0.001 millibars or 0.001 atmosphere. The dyne/square centimeter is often used in scientific contexts, particularly in fields such as physics and engineering, where measurements can involve very small forces and areas. Though it is less commonly used today with the prevalence of SI units, understanding dyn/cm² can be beneficial for historical context and specific applications. Its significance lies in its relation to various fluid dynamics and material properties.
