Newton (abbreviation: N): is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion. One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in direction of the applied force.
Metric Tonne (abbreviations: metric ton, or metric tons, or ton, or tons): is a SI metric unit of mass, also known as tonne. Although, it is used principally as a unit of mass, it has acquired a number of meanings and uses over long years. It is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms (Kg), or one megagram (Mg), or approximately 2,204.6 pounds (lb), or 1.10 short tons (US), or 0.984 long tons (imperial).
How to Convert Newtons to Metric Tonnes
Example: How many metric tonnes are equivalent to 93.35 newtons?
As;
1 newtons = 0.00010197162129779 metric tonnes
93.35 newtons = Y metric tonnes
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 93.35 times 0.00010197162129779 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 93.35 * 0.00010197162129779 / 1 = 0.0095190508481487 metric tonnes
Answer is: 0.0095190508481487 metric tonnes are equivalent to 93.35 newtons.
