  • What is force?

    Force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from its interaction with another object. When an interaction results in a push or pull, that interaction is a force. Force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

  • What is the SI unit of force?

    The SI unit of force is the Newton (N).

  • What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

    According to Newton's second law of motion, force (F) is directly proportional to mass (m) and acceleration (a): F = ma. One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²).

  • What is the difference between pound-force (lbf) and pound (mass)?

    Pound (lb) is commonly used as a unit of mass in the imperial system. Pound-force (lbf) is a unit of force defined as the force due to gravity on one avoirdupois pound mass under standard gravity. Similarly, kilogram-force (kgf) or kilopond (kp) is the force due to gravity on one kilogram mass under standard gravity.
