minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前It’s a derived unit of torque. Pound is already a measure of force.
minus-square_stranger_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前Of this, you and I, are quite aware. The Joke, however, is in the air.

minus-squarespaduf@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 年前The mnemonic for remembering a newton is actually one of my favorites. It’s the force required to move 1kg by 1m. A kg being roughly the mass of an apple makes Newton a natural and somewhat clever fit for the concept.
