What are Newton and Pound-force

Definition of Newton

A Newton (N) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Named after Sir Isaac Newton, it measures the amount of force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is crucial in physics and engineering, providing a standard method to quantify force. For instance, when you push an object, the force applied is measured in Newtons, making it an essential concept for understanding dynamics and mechanical systems.

Definition of Pound-force

A Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force in the British Gravitational System. It represents the force exerted by gravity on a one-pound mass at the Earth's surface. Specifically, one Pound-force equals the force required to accelerate a one-pound object by 32.174 feet per second squared. This unit is commonly used in various engineering disciplines, especially in the United States, to calculate the force in mechanical systems, ensuring accurate measurements and analysis in design and structural integrity.
