text: # Dynemetre
  
  The dynemetre is an obsolete unit of torque in the CGS-system. It is based on the units dyne and metre, it is abbreviated either dyn·m or m·dyn.
  
  Torque is a product of the length of a lever and the force applied to the lever. One dyne is the force required to accelerate 1 g with 1 $g·cm/s^2,$ this force equals $10^{−5}$ N, therefore 1 dyn·m = 0.00001 N·m.
