What's the difference between dyne and muse?

Dyne


Definition:

  • (n.) The unit of force, in the C. G. S. (Centimeter Gram Second) system of physical units; that is, the force which, acting on a gram for a second, generates a velocity of a centimeter per second.

Example Sentences:

  • (18) The force required to separate the F1-JY pair is 1.5 X 10(4) dynes per square centimeter.
  • (19) Linear regression analysis revealed a close relationship between changes in distal coronary pressure (delta DCP) and those in resistance of the stenotic coronary segment (delta RL) represented by the following equation; delta RL (dyne X cm-5 X sec X 10(-3)) = 0.50 X [delta DCP (mmHg)]-6.0 X 10(-2), r = 0.86, p less than 0.01.
