[[File:Force.png|right|300 px|thumb|Pousts are aften described as pushes or pulls. Thay can be endue tae phenomena sic as [[gravity]], [[magnetism]], or onything ense that causes a mass tae accelerate.]]
In [[naitural philosophy]], '''Poust''' is whit chynges or tends tae chynge a state o rest or motion in an object. Poust causes objects tae [[acceleration|accelerate]], [[pressur|add tae the object's owerall pressur]], or [[turn|chynge direction]]. Poust is measured in Newtons ('''N''').

Accordin tae [[Newton's laws o motion#Seicont law|Newton's Seicont Law o Motion]], the formula for findin poust is:
:<math>F = ma</math>
whaur <math>F</math> is the poust, <br />
<math>m</math> is the [[mass]] o an object, <br />
an <math>a</math> is the [[acceleration]] o the object.

If ye set <math>a</math> tae the staundart [[gravity]] ''g'', than anither formula can be fund:

:<math>W = mg</math>
whaur <math>W</math> is the [[wecht]] o an object, <br />
<math>m</math> is the mass o an object, <br />
an <math>g</math> is the acceleration due tae gravity at [[sea level]]. It is aboot <math>9.8m/s^2</math>.

Poust is a [[vector]], sae it haes baith a [[magnitude]] an a [[direction]].
