What are the basic SI units $(\mathrm{kg}, \mathrm{m}, \mathrm{s})$ for force according to Newton's second law $\sum \mathrm{F} \rightarrow \mathrm{ext}=\mathrm{ma} \rightarrow ? \sum \vec{F}_{\mathrm{ext}}=m \vec{a} ?$
What is SI unit of force
Akash G.
Newton's law of universal gravitation is represented by $$ F=G \frac{M m}{r^{2}} $$ where $F$ is the gravitational force, $M$ and $m$ are masses, and $r$ is a length. Force has the SI units $\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ . What are the SI units of the proportionality constant $G$ ?
