Newton (N)
D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

The newton (symbol: N) is the SI derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.
It is equal to the amount of net force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. Since Newton's second law of motion states F = ma, multiplying m (kg) by a (m/s2), the newton is therefore:
