How to visualize a weight of 1 Newton and How much force does 1 N-Meter have?

This is how you can explain it to a fifth grader.

Imagine having a 102 gms dumbell on one of your hands. 

The weight on your hand due to this dumbell and earth's gravity is around 1 Newton (102 gm x 9.8 m/s/s).


Now imagine a one meter long spanner hooked to a nut and you put this dumbell on the end of that spanner. The twisting force on the nut due to this dumbell and that one meter long spanner will be around 1 Newton-Meter.
