  2. 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 ...

    1. An applied force or system of forces that tends to strain or deform a physical body. 2. A measure of the internal forces acting within a deformable body. 3. A quantitative measure of the average force per unit area of a surface within a body on which internal forces act. stress–strain curve string duality string theory structural load

    If the amount of force is 2 N, and the lever arm 0,6 m, the amount of torque is 1,2 Nm. At the instant shown, the force gives to the disc the angular acceleration α = τ /I = 7,5 rad/s 2 , and to its center of mass it gives the linear acceleration a = F / m = 4 m/s 2 .

    A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (e.g. moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. Force density – Forging – Four-bar linkage – Four-stroke cycle – Four wheel drive –

  7. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    The force on the mass is equal to the vector sum of the spring force and the kinetic frictional force. When the velocity changes sign (at the maximum and minimum displacements ), the magnitude of the force on the mass changes by twice the magnitude of the frictional force, because the spring force is continuous and the frictional force reverses ...
