The first stage of the Saturn V had five engines. At launch, each engine produced about 1,500,000 pounds (or 6,670,000 newtons, the SI unit of force) of thrust. The five engines therefore produced about 7,500,000 pounds or about 33.4 million newtons.
As the rocket rose through the atmosphere, its thrust actually increased to almost nine million pounds due to the decreasing pressure of the surrounding air. At the same time, it got much lighter as it furiously burned its propellants. This caused the rocket's acceleration to increase to where it could have damaged its structure or the Apollo spacecraft on top. To keep acceleration under 4 "G's", the center or "inboard" engine was shut down about 26 seconds before the other four.
