  2. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Expressed in terms of SI base units , it is 1 kg⋅m/s 2 , the force that accelerates a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared.

  3. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.

    N = kg m/s 2; Pa = N/m 2 = kg/(m s) J = N m = kg m 2 /s 2; W = J/s = N m/s = kg m 2 /s 3; Furthermore, prior to the revision the SI base unit of electric current, the ampere (A), was defined as the current needed to produce a force of 0.2 μN between 2 parallel wires 1 m apart for every metre of length. Substituting these parameters into ...

  6. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.

  8. Physical quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_quantity

    For example, the physical quantity mass, symbol m, can be quantified as m=n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit symbol (for kilogram). Quantities that are vectors have, besides numerical value and unit, direction or orientation in space.

  9. Kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram

    The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and Δν Cs. —
