0 a unit used to measure force, equal to the force that moves a mass of one kilogram one metre in one second --
1 the standard unit for the measure of force, equal to the force that produces a movement of one meter in a second on an object that weighs one kilogram --
Test units of force measurements are most commonly newtons or pounds.
The block was easily chopped in two, with the force being measured at 11,000 newtons (roughly 2000 pounds of force).
The resulting measurement may be made in units of force (such as the newton), but is more commonly made in units of gals.
The ampere too is defined relative to the newton, and ultimately, the kilogram.
Also, the unit newton metre is dimensionally equivalent to the joule, which is the unit of energy.
The use of newton-metres for torque and joules for energy is useful in helping avoid misunderstandings and miscommunications.
The first number ("e.g.", 8) specifies that engine's average thrust in newtons or the average push exerted by the engine.
Since the newton is part of a coherent set of units, the constant of proportionality is 1.
