60N

60N is a magnitude of force expressed in newtons, the SI unit of force. The symbol N denotes newtons; one newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared (F = ma).

On Earth, the amount of mass corresponding to 60 newtons is about 6.12 kilograms, since m = F/g

60 N can describe forces in physics experiments, engineering specifications, lifting loads, or loads on structures.

Writing "60N" without a space is common in informal contexts but not the standard typographic form; in

Note that 60N may appear as shorthand in various domains to indicate a force of that magnitude,
