什么是 The newton?

又称: newton

Definition 64.1 Primary & Middle School Physics · 第 64 章 — Weight vs Mass: Measuring Forces

Forces — pushes, pulls, weights, gravitation’s grip — are measured in newtons (N\mathrm{N}), honoring the author of the law of gravitation. Handy anchors: one newton is about the weight of a small apple (history smiles); your schoolbag weighs some 50 N50\,\mathrm{N}; a solid handshake squeezes with around 100 N100\,\mathrm{N}; last chapter’s Moon-lease ran to 102010^{20}.

示例

Example 64.8 (The book on the table, in newtons)

The oldest equilibrium in this book, at last with numbers: a 2 kg2\,\mathrm{kg} dictionary rests on a desk. Its weight: P=2×9.8=19.6 NP = 2 \times 9.8 = 19.6\,\mathrm{N}, drawn as an arrow 2 cm2\,\mathrm{cm} long at a scale of ten newtons per centimetre, pointing straight down from the book. The desk’s supporting push: 19.6 N19.6\,\mathrm{N} straight up — an equal arrow, opposite way. The tie is exact, and stillness is its proof: the childhood picture, now a measured budget.
