What is force measured in?

Force, should be measured in newtons, which are equivalent to a kilogram*meter/ seconds squared, according to the International System of Units. Force is any action or motion that acts upon a body of mass and changes its position or velocity.

The newton, named after the famous scientist Isaac Newton, is the standard unit of force. According to Newton's second law of physics, force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration, or F=m*a. The mass of the object provides the kilogram component of the newton, while the acceleration of the object provides the meters over seconds squared. The mass and acceleration can be measured from either the object being impacted or the object applying the force.
