  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 kgm/s 2, the force that accelerates a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared. The unit is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-metre

    The newton-metre or newton-meter (also non-hyphenated, newton metre or newton meter; symbol N⋅m [1] or N m [1]) [a] is the unit of torque (also called moment) in the International System of Units (SI). One newton-metre is equal to the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to the end of a moment arm that is one ...

    The basic module (M) is a unit of distance equal to one hundred millimetres (100 mm). The myriametre (mym) is a unit of distance equal to ten kilometres (10 km). The hebdometre is a unit of distance equal to ten megametres (10 Mm). The spat (S) is a unit of distance equal to one terametre (1 Tm).

  6. MKS units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mks_units

    The metre, kilogram, second system of units, also known more briefly as MKS units or the MKS system, [1] [2] [3] is a physical system of measurement based on the metre, kilogram, and second (MKS) as base units. Distances are described in terms of metres, mass in terms of kilograms and time in seconds.

    Since all gases have the same volume per mole at a given temperature and pressure far from their points of liquefaction and solidification (see Perfect gas), and air is about ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠ oxygen (molecular mass 32) and ⁠ 4 / 5 ⁠ nitrogen (molecular mass 28), the density of any near-perfect gas relative to air can be obtained to a good ...

  9. Spring scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_scale

    A spring scale, spring balance or newton meter is a type of mechanical force gauge or weighing scale. It consists of a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. [ 1 ] It works in accordance with Hooke's Law , which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with ...
