  • The Newton (symbol: N) is a unit of force derived from the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Isaac Newton in honour of his contributions to classical mechanics. 
  • According to Newton's second law of motion, force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. i.e. F = m x a
  • Here, m is the mass and its SI unit is kg. And a is acceleration and its SI unit is m/s2.
    Then, F= kg m/s2 = 1N.
  •  Hence, the unit 'Newton' is equivalent to kg m/s2.
