| Jun 9, 2018 at 6:38 | comment | added | MythicalCode_ | @JustCurious Can you answer this question so I can accept it? | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 6:31 | comment | added | PolaroidDreams | Newton is the unit of force. $F = ma$. Expressing $1N$ in terms of basic SI units, we have $1kgms^{-2}$. Hence, $1Nm = 1kgm^2s^{-2}$. | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 6:28 | comment | added | MythicalCode_ | @JustCurious What is 1kgm2s-2 (don't know how to use superscript yet) | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 6:23 | comment | added | MythicalCode_ | Oh, I didn't know that. Text books have all the complex stuff, but they miss out small stuff like this ._. | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 6:21 | comment | added | PolaroidDreams | Joule is a derived unit for energy (or work done). $1 J = 1 Nm = 1 kgm^2s^{-2}$ | |
