The discussion revolves around identifying a mechanical parameter that corresponds to the unit expression N² sec³/kgm. Participants explore the relationship between various physical quantities and their units, particularly focusing on force and its derivation from fundamental SI units.
The discussion has progressed with some participants confirming the relationship between Newtons and force, while others are probing deeper into the implications of the unit expression. There is a recognition of the connection to impulse, indicating a productive line of inquiry.
Participants are working within the constraints of a homework problem, seeking to understand the underlying principles without arriving at a definitive conclusion. The original poster expresses a need for assistance, indicating a learning-focused environment.
helpme1 said:Force.
srmeier said:no, a Newton is the unit of force but a Newton can be broken down into simpler units of measure. this is the equivalency:
[tex][N]=[\frac{Kgm}{s^2}][/tex] -(these are the units for F=ma)
This should make sense to you, F=ma. "m" is measured in Kg, "a" is measured in m/s^2. when you multiply the two you get a unit of Newton
