minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoIt’s a derived unit of torque. Pound is already a measure of force.

minus-squarespaduf@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoThe mnemonic for remembering a newton is actually one of my favorites. It’s the force required to move 1kg by 1m. A kg being roughly the mass of an apple makes Newton a natural and somewhat clever fit for the concept.
