Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The SI unit of force is the newton, symbol N. The base units relevant to force are: The metre, unit of length-symbol m. The kilogram, unit of mass-symbol kg.
Detailed explanation-2: -Force is most often measured in “Newtons", abbreviated N. As you probably guessed, it is named after Isaac Newton. 1 Newton is the force required to take a 1 kilogram (kg) mass and give it an acceleration of 1 meter/second-squared.
Detailed explanation-3: -The SI unit of force is the newton (N). 5.3: Newton’s First Law. According to Newton’s first law (the law of inertia), there must be a cause for any change in velocity (a change in either magnitude or direction) to occur. Inertia is related to an object’s mass.
