<span>If you apply 100.0 N of force to lift an object with a single, fixed pulley, then the resistive force is also equivalent to 100 Newtons of force. Since the weight of the object was not mentioned, it is assumed that it has already been taken into account in the 100 N value of force. This follows Newton's law of motion of equal action and reaction.</span>
The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.
