Force ,which is also called" weight", is measured in a Unit called Newton. Mass is a measured quantity of matter called kilogram and aceleration is the ratio of two units of measure Which is Force per Unit mass = Newtons per kilograms.

Newtons= kg * m/(sec^2)
Force^ mass^ ^acceleration

Force (newtons) = mass (kilograms) * acceleration (meters per second per second)

My teacher did tell me. (in 1960) so I'll pass it on:
In the mks system: Force --Newtons, mass---kg, acc---m/sec^2
In the fps system: Force---pound, mass----slug, acc---ft/sec^2
a couple of others:
cgs sysem: Force---dyne, mass---gram, acc---cm/sec^2
foot-poundal-sec: Force---poundal, mass---pound, acc--ft/sec^2

force: newtons (N)
mass: grams(g)
accel.: meters per second added in one second (m/sec/sec)
