To determine whether the statement "The international system unit for Force is pounds" is true or false, we need to refer to the International System of Units (SI), which is the most widely used system of measurement.
1. Understanding Force in SI Units:
- The SI unit for force is the Newton (N).
- A Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared.
2. Understanding Pounds:
- Pounds (abbreviated as "lbs") are a unit of force commonly used in the United States, but they are part of the Imperial system, not the International System of Units (SI).
Given this information:
- The statement claims that the international system unit for force is pounds.
- Since pounds are not part of the International System of Units, the statement is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
False
