API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

Multiply by 0.001 because 1 dyn/cm = 0.001 N/m and 1 N/m = 1 N/m.

Method & Reference

Method basis: exact conversion formula shown in Snapshot.
Applied factor: 1 Dynes per centimeter = 0.001 Newtons per meter.
Consistency rule: calculator output and table values use the same constants and rounding policy.
