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 unit that is used to measure force in the SI system of units is the Newton. One Newton is equal to 1 kilogram per meter squared. The standard symbol for Newton is N, and the unit is named after the physicist Isaac Newton, who derived the laws of motion.
