Answer:

Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit of force is Newton and it is given after Sir Isaac Newton for his tremendous works in this regard.

Force is the product of mass and acceleration of a body.

Force = mass x acceleration

The unit of mass = kg

acceleration = m/s²

So;

1N = 1kgm/s²

Therefore, the unit of force is newtons and 1N is equal to 1kgm/s²
