Answer:

Newtons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;


F = ma

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).
