We will use Newton's Second Law, which is:


F=ma

Where

F is Force

m is mass

a is acceleration

Given,

Mass = 10 kg (m)

Acceleration = 3 m/s^2 (a)

We can easily find F by plugging these values into the formula. Shown below:


\begin{gathered} F=ma \\ F=10\cdot3 \\ F=30 \end{gathered}

The units is Newtons.

Thus, the answer is:

30 Newtons
