But If you want me to describe a force exerted in terms of Newtons, or understand such a description, without doing some math I simply cannot. If you tell me foot-pounds, however, I will get the idea.
My point exactly. The authors of text books & professors swap them around by course. One uses kPa where the next may use Newtons/sq. meter.
