what unit would you use to measure the weight of a apple?

the apocryphal apple that fell on newton's head can be used to illustrate the issues involved. an apple weighs approximately 1 newton. this is the weight of the apple and is considered to be a constant even while it is falling. during that fall, its weight however is zero: ignoring air resistance, the apple is stress free. when it hits newton, the sensation felt by newton would depend upon the height from which the apple falls and weight of the apple at the moment of impact may be many times greater than 1 n. it was great enough—in the story—to make the great man invent the theory of gravity. it is this weight which distorts the apple. on its way down, the apple in its free fall does not suffer any distortion as the gravitational field is uniform.

the japanese offensive plans specified that the three units would make a series of coordinated, but separate, attacks on the american perimeter. these involved capturing strategically significant hills within the perimeter, and then assaulting the airfields. the iwasa unit would begin the offensive by advancing southwest and capturing hill 700, in the center of the u.s. perimeter, on 8 march. it would then rest for two days before advancing against the piva airfields. the muda unit was to launch its attack on the right of the perimeter 10 march by advancing west and capturing hills 260 and 309. on 12 march it and a battalion from the iwasa unit would capture hill 608. the attack would then switch to the left, and the magata unit would begin its attack on 11 march and move south through low-lying terrain to assault the 129th infantry regiment. after defeating this unit, the magata unit would join the iwasa unit's advance on the airfields. once these airfields were secured, the three units would advance to cape torokina, and capture it by 17 march. due to their inadequate supply of rations, the japanese needed to achieve a rapid victory.
