Converting from what, to what? The SI (metric) unit of force is Newtons. Usually written as N. As with all SI units with big or small numbers, prefixes can be added on to it. E.g 1000 Newtons would be 1 kilo-Newton or 1 kN. Kilo meaning 1000. 0.001 Newtons would be 1 milli-Newton or 1 mN...etc. The beauty of the SI system is that all the units are easily interchangeable For example, the unit of torque is the Newton-metre which is equivalent to 1 N of force being exerted 1 metre from a fixed point, this can be interpreted as 2 newtons being exerted 50 cm from the fixed point of 0.1N 10 metres from the point. All the SI units of measurement are based on 4 primary values, Force, Length, Time and Angle. For example speed is usually expressed everyday as kilometres per hour. 1km/h = 1000/3600 m/s. 1000 m in a km and 3600 seconds in an hour. Therefore 1 km/h = 0.27778 m/s

What would you measure human weight in using the metric system?

The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).

In the metric system weight is a?

Weight is measured in the metric system using the unit of mass called the kilogram (kg). It is important to note that weight and mass are different concepts, where weight is the force created by gravity acting on an object's mass.


How can one convert energy to force?

One can convert energy to force by using a device called a machine, such as a lever or pulley, which can amplify the force applied to it using energy input. This allows the energy to be transformed into a mechanical force that can be used to perform work.
