Excerpt from Supplement to High School Physical Science

Therefore, on the above conditions, the number of units in the magnitude of any force is equal to the product of the number of units of mass in the body on which it acts into the number of units of acceleration produced in that mass by the force in question.

The units of force thus determined are known as the absolute, or kinetic, units of force.

In the metric system, in which the units of mass, displacement, and time are respectively the gram, the centimetre, and the second, the unit force is that force which acting on one gram mass produces an accelera tion of one centimetre per second per second.
