# Definition
A newton is the SI unit of force. It's the force to push a 1 kilogram mass by $1\frac{m}{s^2}$.
$
\begin{array}{c}
\text{1 newton} = \text{1 kilogram}\cdot \text{1 meter per second sqaured} \\
\text{1 N} = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}
\end{array}
$
# Dimensional Analysis
> [!warning] Assumption
Assume the standard quantity units for [[Dimensional Analysis|dimensional analysis]].
$
\begin{align*}
[\text{N}] &= [kg] \cdot \frac{[m]}{[s^2]} \\
&= [M] \cdot \frac{[L]}{[T^2]} \\
&= [MLT^{-2}]
\end{align*}
