Force is expressed in Newtons
It's newtons - never capitalised, , but the abbreviation, N, *is*, because it's derived from a personal name.
The simplest example is the force due to gravity.
Strictly speaking, weight is *not* expressed in grams/kilograms/tonnes. These are measures of *mass*, and a 1 kg object will always have that mass (at ordinary speeds), whether it's on earth or out in space.
Here on earth, due to gravity, the 1 kg mass experiences a force of 1 kilogram-force.
Because the force of acceleration due to gravity is abuout 9.81 metres/second, 1 kilogram-force equates to 9.81 newtons.
My mass of around 70 kg becomes a weight of about 690 N.

∙ 10y agoA newton is a unit of force. It's the force needed to give a kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second. So that's:
1 kilogram meter/second2
Also written as: 1 kg. m. s-2

What areas of mathematics did sir isaac newton get credit for advancing?
Principally, calculus, although Leibniz had independently discovered the theory. Newton is also credited with the infinite convergent series (showing that there is no exact value for PI), and with Newton's Method, for extracting roots of equations.

What is the weight of an object of mass 40 kg?
You need to multiply the mass with the value of gravity; near Earth's surface that value is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.
What currency does Isaac Newton appear on?
Sir Isaac Newton formerly appeared on the British one pound note. Although the currency is out of circulation, it is still legal tender but has greater value to collectors.
What is the acceleration of the system given the value of f and m?
Newton's Second Law: F=ma. Solving for a: a = F/m.
