Sample Problems on the Unit of Force

Problem 1: Covert 2.4 N into dyne.

Solution:

To convert 2.4 N (Newtons) into dynes, you can use the conversion factor:

1 N = 10⁵ dynes

So, to convert 2.4 N to dynes:

2.4 N × 10⁵ dynes/N = 240,000 dynes

Therefore, 2.4 N is equal to 240,000 dynes.

Problem 2: Convert 10 newtons into pounds-force (lbf).

Solution:

To convert Newtons (N) to pounds-force (lbf), you can use the conversion factor:

1 N ≈ 0.224808943 pounds-force (lbf)

So, to convert 10 Newtons to pounds-force:

10 N × 0.224808943 lbf/N ≈ 2.24808943 lbf

Therefore, 10 Newtons is approximately equal to 2.24808943 pounds-force (lbf).

Problem 3: Covert 3.6 Sthene into Newton.

Solution:

To convert 3.6 Sthene into Newton, you can use the conversion factor:

1 Sthene = 1000 Newton

So, to convert 3.6 Sthene into Newton:

3.6 Sthene × 1000 = 3,600 Newton

Therefore, 3.6 Sthene is equal to 3,600 Newton

Force is one of the most fundamental concepts in physics. Force is measured in the unit “Newton.” Force can be measured by observing its effects on the object, such as acceleration, deformation, or work done. A unit of force is a standard amount of force that can be used as a reference to measure and communicate other forces.

There are different systems of units that define different units of force, such as the Newton in the SI system, the dyne in the CGS system, and the pound-force in the imperial system.
