SI unit of force is Newton, with the symbol “N”

The SI unit of force is the Newton (N). It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared. One newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. In equation form, force (F) is defined as:

F = m * a

where:

• F is the force in newtons,
• m is the mass in kilograms,
• a is the acceleration in meters per second squared.

This definition of Newton is based on Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration. The newton is a derived unit in the SI system and is widely used in physics, engineering, and everyday applications to quantify and describe the effects of forces on objects.
