Problem 2 Solution

Force is usually measured in Newtons (N= kg m/sec^2), but some scientists use dynes instead (dyn = g cm/sec^2). Convert 0.101 N to dynes.

10100 dyn

Solution Steps:

We need the two conversion equations:

1 kg = 1000 g
1 m = 100 cm

Now we want to cancel kg and m, so we'll use the ratios with kg and m on the bottom:

10100 dyn!
