The SI unit of force is the Newton, abbreviated as ‘N’.
A Newton is defined as the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. In simpler terms, if you push something with a force of one Newton, you are causing it to speed up at that rate.
The concept of force is central in physics, reflecting how objects interact with each other. Newton’s second law of motion relates force, mass, and acceleration, which is captured in the formula: F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. Thus, understanding the SI unit of force helps in measuring and quantifying these interactions accurately.
