About Force Units
Force is a physical quantity that can change the state of motion or shape of an object. It is measured in various units:
- Newton (N): The SI unit of force. 1 N = 1 kg·m/s²
- Pound-force (lbf): The imperial unit of force
- Kilogram-force (kgf): The force exerted by Earth’s gravity on one kilogram of mass
- Dyne: A CGS unit equal to 10⁻⁵ N
Force Formulas
| Formula | Description |
|---|---|
| F = m × a | Newton’s Second Law (Force = mass × acceleration) |
| F = G × (m₁ × m₂) / r² | Law of Universal Gravitation |
| F = k × x | Hooke’s Law for springs (Force = spring constant × displacement) |
