A unit of force is the force that is exerted by gravity. The standard unit of forces is known as newton and is named after Isaac Newton.

Mathematically, Hooke's law states that: F = -kx, Where, x is the displacement of the end of the spring from its equilibrium position (in SI units: "m"); F is the restoring force exerted by the material (in SI units: "N" or kgms-2); and k is the force constant (or spring constant) (in SI units: "N·m-1" or "kgs-2").    
The gravitational force between two objects depends on their distance, as well as the two masses involved. The value of the gravitational constant is 6.674 x 10^-11 (plus some units), in SI units. To get an actual force, multiply the two masses (in kilograms), divide by the square of the distance (in meters), and multiply that by the gravitational constant above. The answer is the force, in newton.
a constant force.
Bungee jumpers use ropes that have small values of the force constant because they want maximum stretching for their cords to preserve as much energy as possible from their initial fall. The units of force constant are N/m. On a bungee cord, you would like the stretch to takes as little force as possible per meter of cord.
I am not sure what you mean with "force constant". The SI unit of force is the newton.
The rate or spring constant of a spring is the change in the force it exerts, divided by An extension or compression spring has units of force divided by distance, law which states that the force a spring exerts is proportional to its extension.

The force constant is unaffected; It is a constant.
a constant force.
Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.

The extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load added to it as long as this load does not exceed the elastic limit.F = -kxwhereF is the restoring force exerted by the material (in SI units: N);x is the displacement of the end of the spring from its equilibrium position (in SI units: m);k is the force constant (or spring constant) (in SI units: N·m-1 or kgs-2).

If the net force on an object is constant, its acceleration will also be constant, as given by Newton's second law of motion.
Force has SI units of Newtons (N) and English units of pounds (lb).
The units are m-1 or per metre.
