the SI unit of force is the newton (symbol N), which is the force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. It is equivalent to SI kgms-2. Any other unit of force can be derived from the formula F = ma and substituting whatever units are being for those variables.

Some other units of force:

1 dyne = 10-5 N

1 kilogram - force (kgf) or kilopound (kp) = 9.80665 N = 1 metric slug

1 lbf = 32.174 poundals = 1 slug

1 kgf = 2.2046 lbf
