Explanation

In Physics, force is typically measured in a unit called Newtons. Pascals measure pressure; Amps measure electric current; and Joules measure energy, work, or heat. The correct measurement unit for simple force used universally across the physics community is the Newton. This is according to Isaac Newton's second law of motion which states that Force is equivalent to mass times acceleration (F = m*a), with measured in Newtons, mass measured in kilograms, and acceleration measured in m/s^2.
