What are Newton and Pound-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton is the SI unit of force and is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics.

Definition of Pound-force

Pound-force, represented as lbf, is a unit of force in the imperial system of units. It is the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. This unit reflects the gravitational force exerted on a pound of mass.
