What are Newton and Pound-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as N, is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. Proposed by Isaac Newton, the unit embodies the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force, fundamental to Newton's second law of motion.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force, represented as lbf, is a unit of force in the imperial system. It is the force exerted by gravity on one pound of mass. The unit is based on the gravitational force at Earth's surface, which is approximately 32.17405 ft/s². Thus, one pound-force is the gravitational force on a mass of one pound.
