SI derived unit of force (kg·m/s²)
About Newton (N)
The SI derived unit of force, one newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram at one meter per second squared. Named after Sir Isaac Newton, this unit is used throughout physics and engineering. An average apple weighs about one newton, a fitting tribute to Newton's legendary encounter with falling fruit.
