Symbol N. The SI unit of force, being the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 m s−2. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton.
Mathematics
The SI unit of force, abbreviated to ‘N’. One newton is the force required to give a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second per second.
Astronomy
A unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one metre per second per second. It is named after I. Newton.
Chemistry
The SI unit of force, being the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 m s−2. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727).
Chemical Engineering
The SI unit of force defined as the force that when applied to a mass of one kilogram, produces in that mass an acceleration of one metre per second per second.
Biology
Symbol N. The SI unit of force, being the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 m s−2. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727).
Geology and Earth Sciences
The derived SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727), being the force required to produce an acceleration of 1 m/s2 in a mass of 1 kg; 1 N = 1 J/m.
