Some facts

• The force is a physical quantity, which is a measure of interaction between bodies.
• The force is a vector quantity i.e. it has both magnitude and direction.
• The basic unit of force in the SI system is one newton (1 N). The force is 1 N if it gives the body of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/s².
• Force can be defined as a derivative of momentum by time, which is an expression of the fact that in order to give the body momentum (or change it if already exists), one must act on it with force:
$\vec{F} = \dfrac{d\vec{p}}{dt}$
where:
• $\vec{F}$ - a force acting on the body,
• $\vec{p}$ - body momentum,
• t - time.
• Force also occurs in so-called II Newton's principle of dynamics, which show relation between mass, acceleration and force. However, it can be shown that this is equivalent to the definition of force as a derivative of momentum.
$\vec{F} = \dfrac{d\vec{p}}{dt} = m \dfrac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = m \vec {a}$
where:
• $\vec{F}$ - a force acting on the body,
• $\vec{v}$ - the veclocity of the body,
• m - the mass of the body,
• $\vec{a}$ - the acceleration of the body.
• Force itself does not tell about the nature of the interaction (i.e. what caused it) but only shows the scale and direction of this interaction. For this reason, we can come across phrases such as:
• electrostatic force - acting between two electric charges,
• gravitational force - acting between two bodies having mass,
• electromotive force (SEM) - causing current to flow through a conductor,
• etc.

How to convert

• Enter the number to field "value" - enter the NUMBER only, no other words, symbols or unit names. You can use dot (.) or comma (,) to enter fractions.
Examples:
• 1000000
• 123,23
• 999.99999
• Find and select your starting unit in field "unit". Some unit calculators have huge number of different units to select from - it's just how complicated our world is...
• And... you got the result in the table below. You'll find several results for many different units - we show you all results we know at once. Just find the one you're looking for.
