Q

refers to the size or strength of the force. It is commonly expressed in
newton (N) for Meter-Kilogram-Second (MKS) system, dyne (dyn) for
Centimeter–Gram–Second (CGS) system and pounds (lbs) for Foot– Pound–Second
(FPS) system. In the International System of Units (SI), newton is commonly used
which is named after Sir Isaac Newton, an English physicist and mathematician.

Q

a force given to a person or object by another person or object. Its
symbol is F depending on who or what applies force to the object. In the image
below, we could denote the applied force with F A or F M to denote applied force of the
man.
