Correct answer: A. Newton
- A. Newton
- B. Poundal
- C. Dyne
- D. Watt
Explanation
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force in the MKS system. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. The newton is a fundamental unit of force and is widely used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure forces in various applications.

About Measurements
Physical quantities are expressed with SI base and derived units, while measurement limits are described through accuracy, precision, absolute and percentage error, and significant figures. Dimensional analysis checks equations, derives relationships and detects inconsistent units, but it cannot determine numerical constants or distinguish quantities with identical dimensions.
