Newtons. A newton (N) is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second. If you held a lump of metal of mass 100g (about 3 1/2 ounces) then gravity would pull on it with a force of about 1 newton. Forces can be measured with a newtonometer - a device with a spring in it, that is compressed when a force is applied and a needle attached to the spring moves on a scale..
