Worked examples
Converting 5 dynes
Multiply 5 by 3.5969431e-05. That gives 0.00018 ounces-force. A quick sanity check: one dyne is smaller than one ounce-force, so the number should get smaller — and it does.
Converting 72 dynes
72 × 3.5969431e-05 = 0.00259 ounces-force. Working backwards, 0.00259 ÷ 3.5969431e-05 returns 72 dynes, which confirms the factor is applied the right way round.
