What are Newton and Psi

Definition of Newton

A Newton, symbolized as N, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.

Definition of Psi

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used in the imperial system. It measures the amount of force applied in pounds over one square inch of an area. This unit is widely used in various industries such as automotive, industrial equipment, and aviation to gauge pressure in tires, hydraulic systems, and fuel tanks among others.
