If the mass m is measured in kilograms and the acceleration a is measured in meters per second squared, then the unit of force is kilogram x meter/second squared. This unit is called the newton: 1 N = 1 kg x 1 m/sÂ².
Quick Answer. The instrument used to measure force is called a dynamometer. A dynamometer is capable of measuring different kinds of force such as mechanical force and muscular force. These instruments are used for a wide range of tasks including measuring the power of an engine, measuring the grip strength of a person and studying combustion.
