The '''newton''' (symbol N, named for [[Sir Isaac Newton]]) is the SI unit of [[force]]. One newton is that amount of force required to give a one-kilogram mass an acceleration of one meter per second per second. To calculate, multiply mass by acceleration.
The '''newton''' (symbol N, named for [[Sir Isaac Newton]]) is the SI unit of [[force]]. Force is generally found by multiplying the mass times the acceleration of the mass (giving us the more complicated form <math>kg(m/s^2)</math> )
. One newton is that amount of force required to give a one-kilogram mass an acceleration of one meter per second per second. To calculate, multiply mass by acceleration.
