  2. 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.

  3. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...

  4. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    The specific strength is bounded to be no greater than c 2 ≈ 9 × 10 13 kN⋅m/kg, where c is the speed of light. This limit is achieved by electric and magnetic field lines, QCD flux tubes, and the fundamental strings hypothesized by string theory. [citation needed]

    For example when defining unit code m2 put SI2 here, and for m3 say SI3. This will scale, for example, km2 to 1000 × 1000 of the base unit, m , or scale mm3 to 0.001 × 0.001 × 0.001 of the base unit m .

  8. Edge crush test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_crush_test

    The edge crush resistance R, expressed in kilonewtons per meter (kN/m) is calculated by the equation: = ¯, where ¯ is the mean value of the maximum force and is measured in newtons. More details are laid down in ISO 3037.
