The Newton (definition)
1N is the force needed to make a mass of 1kg accelerate by 1ms^-2
Weight (definition)
Weight is the force causing a falling object to accelerate, due to the pull of gravity
Tension causes
objects to accelerate or change their shape
Upthrust
The upwards force that a fluid exerts on a body floating in it due to the fluid displaced
Friction
A body falling through any fluid will experience
Both drag and upthrust
