The correct answer is: joule

One newton is therefore the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force. A newton is defined as 1 kg m s-2.

A watt is the unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under the pressure of one volt. A watt is defined as 1 kg m2 s3.

The joule is equal to the amount of work done when a force of 1 newton displaces a mass through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of the force applied. A joule is defined as 1 kg m2 s2.

The pascal (Pa) is the unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). A pascal is defined as kg m1 s2.
