The newton (symbol: N) is the SI derived unit of force, named after Sir
Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics.
Definition The newton is the amount of force that is required to
accelerate a kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
Algebraically:

Examples
· 1 N is the force of Earth's gravity on an object with a mass of about
102 g ( kg) (such as a small apple).
· On Earth's surface, a mass of 1 kg exerts a force of approximately
9.81 N [LINK: down] [1] (or 1 kgf). The approximation of 1 kg corresponding
to 10 N is sometimes used as a rule of thumb in everyday life and in
engineering.
· The force of Earth's gravity on a human being with a mass of 70 kg is
approximately 687 N.
· The scalar product of force and di
