What is the value of 1 newton?

Education Journalist | Study Abroad Lead

One newton, represented by the symbol N, is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg × m/s²).

In everyday terms, one newton of force is roughly equivalent to the force needed to lift an object with a mass of 100 grams against the force of gravity (i.e., a weight of about 0.1 newtons).
A newton is a derived unit, meaning that it is defined in terms of other base units of the SI, such as the kilogram, meter, and second.
