The SI unit of force, equal to the force that gives a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second.Newton a city in the northeastern United States, in the state of Massachusetts. Population, 91,000 (1970). Newton is a residential and industrial suburb to the west of Boston. A total of 13,000 workers are employed in industry there. Leading industries include radioelectronics, instrument-making, light industry, and general machine-building.
Newton the unit of force in the International System of Units. It is named after I. Newton, and the international symbol is N. The newton is equal to the force that imparts to a body with a mass of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/sec2 in the direction of the force. With the adoption of the International System, the newton will replace other units of force, such as the kilogram-force (1 kgf = 9.80665 N), the ton-force (1 ton-force = 9806.65 N), the dyne (1 dyne = 10−5 N), and the British pound-force (1 lbf = 4.45 N). newton[′nüt·ən] (mechanics) The unit of force in the meter-kilogram-second system, equal to the force which will impart an acceleration of 1 meter per second squared to the International Prototype Kilogram mass.

(2) A set of mobile computing technologies from Apple introduced in 1993 with its MessagePad personal digital assistant (PDA). The ARM-based MessagePad included handwriting recognition, an infrared port for local data transfer and a fax/modem for email and faxes. Although the MessagePad was the name of the device, it was commonly called the "Newton." The handwriting technology was often criticized for not being up to par; however, proponents of the device claimed it worked well if the user had the patience to train it properly.
The Newton eMate
In 1997, Apple offered the educational market a Newton-derived portable computer called the "eMate 300." Also using an ARM processor, the eMate had a full-size keyboard that was housed in a case similar in design to the iBook laptop, which was introduced two years later.
A Five-Year Reign
In 1998, Apple stopped production of Newton products due to competition from Palm PDAs, which were becoming popular. Apple folded the Newton, Inc. subsidiary back into the company after having spun it off a year earlier to specialize in the PDA niche. Some of the components of the Newton handwriting technology made their way into the Mac OS X operating system a few years later. See PDA and ARM.
