Dyne

A dyne (symbol dyn) was a unit of measurement defined as the force that accelerated a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second squared. One dyne was equal to 2.2481 pounds of force, or 10−5 newtons.

;1 microdyne = 1 millionth of a dyne
* During an examination of a protouniverse, Jadzia Dax ordered the Deep Space 9 computer to set the energy flux resolution of a quantometer probe to point one microdyne. ()
;1 kilodyne = 1 thousand dynes
* The Doctor's bio-temporal chamber produced a field stress of 25 kilodynes during the initial test on Kes, before raising it to 30 kilodynes. () 
* The integrity field stress caused by the attempting to escape from the cosmic string fragment exceeded 82 million kilodynes. ()
;1 teradyne = 1 trillion dynes
* A Borg transwarp coil required a minimum of 30 teradynes to maintain a transwarp conduit, which was more than could be provided by the s emergency power. ()
* During their encounter with a binary pulsar the 's hull stress was noted at 45 teradynes and rising, equal to 450,000 newtons, eventually exceeding the vessel's designed maximum tolerance. ()
* The warp core of the USS Voyager was "fueled by a matter/antimatter reaction, which produces a maximum output of 4,000 teradynes per second providing faster-than-light propulsion." ()
* The MIDAS array could direct a tachyon beam onto a pulsar which could produce gravimetric surges of 5 million teradynes. ()
