The quantity used to measure force is the Newton, abbreviated as N.

Here's why:

* Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate or change its shape.

* Newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

* One Newton is defined as the force required to accelerate a 1-kilogram mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared.
