given mass= 100kg and it's a freely falling body. so what is the force in Newtons??

Force is defined as any interaction that causes a change in the motion of an object. In the metric system, force is measured in units called Newtons (N).
Force is measured by multiplying an object's mass (in kilograms) by its acceleration (in meters per second squared). This product is expressed in Newtons, which is equal to 1 kilogram-meter per second squared (1 kg*m/s^2).
Force can be measured in different units, such as pounds or dynes, but Newtons are the standard unit in the metric system. Other units of force can be converted to Newtons by using conversion factors.
The force of gravity is measured in Newtons by multiplying an object's mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth). This product is known as an object's weight, and is expressed in Newtons.
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is directly proportional to an object's acceleration. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be in the direction of the force. Therefore, the unit of force in Newtons is a measure of an object's ability to accelerate.
