The Newton.

Explanation:

In international system (SI) unit for force is the Newton, abbreviated simply as

#N#

It is calculated by multiplying an object's acceleration by its mass using the formula

#F=ma#

and as such, one Newton is equivalent to:

#1[N]=1 [kgxxm/s^2]=1[(kg*m)/s^2]#

In words, this means that for each kilogram of mass, we must apply one Newton of force to cause the mass to accelerate at one meter per second per second.
