Question

Force can be measured in:

Answer 1

Unit of Force:

If $m$ is the mass of a body, and $a$ is the acceleration of the body, then the force acting on the body is given as

$F=ma$

The unit of mass is $kg$ and that of acceleration is $m{s}^{-2}$.

Therefore the unit of force is $kgm{s}^{-2}$ which is also denoted as newton or $N$.

Hence, the SI unit of force is $kgm{s}^{-2}$ or $N$.
