Topic: Meter per second squared

	Metre per second squared - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metres per second squared is the SI derived unit of acceleration, defined by distance or displacement in metres divided by time in seconds and again divided by time in seconds.
		The SI derived unit of force, the newton, is equal to one "kilogram metre per second squared", meaning that a force of one newton is needed to give an acceleration of one metre per second squared to a mass of one kilogram.
		This is an illustration of Newton's second law (see Newton's laws of motion) in its simplest form, where acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

		If your total length of stroke at the oar handle is 1.6 meters, and your rate is 36 strokes per minute (1.666 seconds per stroke), then the average force during the stroke has to be 364.6 newtons in order to have 350 watts of power at the handle.

	Units: CGS and MKS
		When we say, for example, that the dyne is the CGS unit of force, this determines its definition: it is the force which accelerates a mass of one gram at the rate of one centimeter per second per second.
		The MKS unit of force, the newton, is the force which accelerates a mass of one kilogram at the rate of one meter per second per second.
		In 1954, the Tenth General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) adopted the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, degree Kelvin, and candela as the basic units for all international weights and measures, and in 1960 the Eleventh General Conference adopted the name International System of Units (SI) for this collection of units.

	Meter
		Christian Huygens, an astronomer, suggested that one meter should equal the length of a pendulum with a period of one second.
		Other scientists argued that the meter should be one ten-millionth of the length of the Earth's meridian (a line of longitude) along one of its quadrants (Fig.
		Even though the meter is the standard SI measurement of length, it would be pretty difficult to measure something as small as a plant cell or as big as the diameter of the sun with just a meter stick.
