Examples of newton

• Only 31 newtons (7 lbf or 3.2 kgf) of force may be enough to constrict the carotid arteries to the point of rapid unconsciousness.

• If it is given in terms of weight (such as in kiloponds or newtons), then specific impulse has units of time (seconds).

• Therefore, any 1-cubic-meter object in air is buoyed up with a force of 12 newtons.

• Engine output remained unchanged at 157 kilowatts (211 hp) and 357 newton metres (263 ftlbf).

• The block of wood was easily chopped in two, with the force being measured at 11,000 newtons (roughly 2000 pounds of force).

• It is dimensionally equivalent to a force of one newton acting over a distance of one metre, but it is not used for torque.

• Small amounts can be expressed in newton-millimetres per cubic millimetre.

• Since the newton is part of a coherent set of units, the constant of proportionality is 1.
