Answer:


kg * m^2 / s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For each part of the unit, we can find what elementary units they are made up of.

The Newton unit is
kg*m/s^2 since F = ma and F is force (with units of newtons). m is mass with units of kg, a is acceleration with units of m/s^2.

The unit m is simply a meter.

Multiply
kg*m/s^2 with m to get
kg * m^2 / s^2. This is also the unit of torque.
