The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, and the dyne (dyn) is the CGS (Centimetre-Gram-Second) unit of force.
By definition, Force = mass $\times$ acceleration.
1 Newton = 1 kilogram $\times$ 1 meter/second$^2$.
1 N = 1 kg $\times$ 1 m/s$^2$.
We need to convert kilograms to grams and meters to centimeters.
1 kg = 1000 grams = $10^3$ g.
1 meter = 100 centimeters = $10^2$ cm.
Substitute these conversions back into the equation for Newton:
1 N = ($10^3$ g) $\times$ ($10^2$ cm)/s$^2$.
1 N = $10^3 \times 10^2$ g$\cdot$cm/s$^2$.
1 N = $10^5$ g$\cdot$cm/s$^2$.
By definition, 1 dyne = 1 g$\cdot$cm/s$^2$.
Therefore, 1 Newton = $10^5$ dyne.
