(N/A) The $CGS$ unit of force is the dyne.
$1 \text{ Newton (N)} = 10^5 \text{ dynes}$.
This relationship is derived from the fact that $1 \text{ N} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2$,and since $1 \text{ kg} = 10^3 \text{ g}$ and $1 \text{ m} = 10^2 \text{ cm}$,we get $1 \text{ N} = 10^3 \text{ g} \times 10^2 \text{ cm/s}^2 = 10^5 \text{ g} \cdot \text{cm/s}^2$,which is equal to $10^5 \text{ dynes}$.
