In SI units: Force in N (Newton = kg ms/s2); Acceleration in m/s2
Other systems of measurement:
In cgs units: Force in dyn (Dyne = g cm/s2); Acceleration in cm/s2
Also force is stated in kp (kilopond or kilogram-force) - the force exerted by earth's gravity on 1 kg.
In Imperial units: Force in lbf (pound-force) - the force exerted on earth's gravity on 1 lb.
and in pdl (poundal = lb ft/s2); Acceleration in ft/s2
The unit for force is the newton, defined as the amount of force needed to accelerate a 1 kilogram mass at 1 meter per second across a horizontal, frictionless surface. This is also the unit for weight. The unit for mass is a kilogram, and the unit for acceleration is meters per second squared.
Force in Newtons, mass in kilograms and acceleration in meters per second squared.
mass times acceleration is a force. If the acceleration is caused by gravity then the force is called weight.

Mass
The answer is Mass .
Force = mass * acceleration The units for force are Newtons (N)
Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
mass times acceleration is a force. If the acceleration is caused by gravity then the force is called weight.

Mass & weight are often used interchangably, but they are not th same. Weight is equal to the force acting on a mass, normally due to gravitational acceleration.
Mass
Use Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Since both mass and acceleration are already in SI units, the answer will come out in Newton.Use Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration. Since both mass and acceleration are already in SI units, the answer will come out in Newton.Use Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration.

The answer is Mass .
Mass times gravity is weight. The units for weight are: -newton (N) which is equivalent to kg*m/s^2 -kilogram-force (kgf or kp as kilopond) which is eqivalent to force by which an object with mass of 1 kg is pulled in area, where gravitational acceleration is 9.80665 m/s2 1 kgf equals 9.80665 newtons.
Use the formula force = mass x acceleration. In SI units, the force should be in newtons, the mass in kilograms, the acceleration in meters/second2.
Acceleration = force in newtons divided by mass in kilograms
Force = mass * acceleration The units for force are Newtons (N)
Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration, or acceleration = force / mass. NOTE: That's the MASS, not the weight. If you really know an object's weight (in newton), you need to divide by 9.8 first (assuming standard gravity), to get its mass in kilograms.
