A force, F, on a body of mass m causes the body to accelerate. Denote the acceleration of the body by a. The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is

Question

If we take the unit of mass to be a kilogram, the unit of distance to be a meter, and the unit
of time to be a second, then what are the units of force?

Answer 1

force=kg-m/s^2 which is also called a Newton.
