The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics.

Definition

---

A newton is the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared. For example, 1N is the force of Earth's gravity on an apple with a mass of about 102g.
