First law

In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.

Second law

In an inertial frame of reference, the vector sum forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object: F=m×aF = m\times a . (It is assumed here that the mass m is constant – see below)

Third law

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

Since "newton" is kg×ms2\frac {kg\times m} {s ^ 2} , and according to Newton's second law, F=m×aF = m\times a therefore [F]=kg×ms2=N[F] = kg\times\frac {m} {s ^ 2} = N
