Newton, the unit of force, is defined based on Newton's Second Law (F=ma), as the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter/second2. Thus, it is derived from these other units.
If you mean in the SI, it is defined to be a fundamental unit. Consider, for example, Newton's Second Law (force = mass x acceleration), used to define force as a derived unit in the SI. Acceleration is already a derived unit (derived from distance and time) - let's keep it this way, for the sake of discussion. Now, in SI units, force is defined to be derived from mass (and acceleration). Mass is the "fundamental" unit, and force is the "derived" unit. The same relationship, i.e. Newton's Second Law, could just as well have been used the other way round. That is, force could have been defined as the fundamental unit, and mass derived from force (and acceleration). The creators of SI basically defined certain units as "base units" because they could be defined with a high degree of precision.
In the SI, force is expressed in newtons.
There is no unit, base or derived, called a candela ounce
No. A Newton is a unit of force, while pressure is force per unit area. The standard unit of pressure is a Pascal, which is also a derived SI unit.
The SI unit of weight is the newton (N), which is a Derived Unit.
The kilogram is the SI unit for mass.But grams are also often used.Additional AnswerIn SI, there are 'base' (not 'basic') units and 'derived' units -which, as the name suggests, are derived from the base units. There are seven base units, including the kilogram (not the gram) for mass.The SI unit for weight, which is the force due to gravity, is the newton, which is a derived unit.
The ampere is the SI Base Unit or electric current. It is NOT derived from the charge (coulomb) but from the force resulting from its magnetic effect. The ampere is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields. The coulomb, on the other hand, is an SI Derived Unit, based on the ampere and the second.
The mass is obviously a base unit. From mass we can derive many units like momentum, force etc. But we cannot derive the unit of mass from any other unit. So, it's a base unit. Technically, mass is not a unit. In the most commonly used systems of units, MKS and cgs, units of mass (kilograms and grams, respectively), are base units.

One example of a derived unit is the unit of force. Also, the Newton unit is also another prime example of a derived unit.
Newton, (unit of force)
yes, cubic centimeter is a derived unit.
Ampere is the basic unit of electrical current.AnswerThere are, in fact, two answers. The ampere is the SI Base Unit for electric current, but it is also the SI Derived Unit for magnetomotive force.
There is no SI Base Unit for energy. The unit for energy, the joule is a Derived Unit.
These are called derived units. In the SI system (or metric system), there are base units for length, mass and time, among others. These are:metre (m)kilogram (kg)second (s)The unit of acceleration is expressed as m/s2. An example of a derived unit is the unit of force called the newton (N). Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Therefore:force = mass × accelerationN = kg·m/s2
