  2. English Engineering Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Engineering_Units

    A similar system, termed British Engineering Units by Halliday and Resnick (1974), is a system that uses the slug as the unit of mass, and in which Newton's law retains the form F = ma. [5] Modern British engineering practice has used SI base units since at least the late 1970s. [6]

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    The total center of mass of the forks, cork, and toothpick is on top of the pen's tip. Significant aspects of the motion of an extended body can be understood by imagining the mass of that body concentrated to a single point, known as the center of mass. The location of a body's center of mass depends upon how that body's material is distributed.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Euler_equations

    F = total force acting on the center of mass m = mass of the body I 3 = the 3×3 identity matrix a cm = acceleration of the center of mass v cm = velocity of the center of mass τ = total torque acting about the center of mass I cm = moment of inertia about the center of mass ω = angular velocity of the body α = angular acceleration of the body

  6. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

  7. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    The SI unit of force is the newton (symbol N), which is the force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared, or kg·m·s −2.The corresponding CGS unit is the dyne, the force required to accelerate a one gram mass by one centimeter per second squared, or g·cm·s −2. A newton is thus equal to ...

  8. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1. In unit systems where force is a primary unit, like in imperial and US customary measurement systems , g c may or may not equal 1 depending on the units used, and value other than 1 may be required to obtain correct results.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton-force

    A ton-force is one of various units of force defined as the weight of one ton due to standard gravity. [note 1] The precise definition depends on the definition of ...
