0 a unit used to measure force. One newton is equal to the force which moves a mass of one kilogram one metre in one second -- niuton
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.
