From Newton's 2nd law of motion, Force = ma, where m is mass in kilograms, and a is acceleration in m/s2. If acceleration is due to gravity, g is used instead of a.

For example, if a Bowling ball with a mass of 5.5 kg is dropped. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. The force on the bowling ball is determined as follows:

Force = mg = 5.5kg x 9.8m/s2 = 54kg·m/s2 = 54N

In the International System of Units, 1 kg·m/s2 = 1Newton (N) in honor of Isaac newton.

What is the formula of finding the newton?

A newton is a unit of measurement. One Newton is equal to 1kg * m/s^2, or one kilogram times 1 meter per second per second. The formula for finding the force of an object exerted is:F = MA, where F = force, M = Mass, and A = Acceleration.
