An engineering intern claims that using mass in kilograms and acceleration in centimeters per second squared still gives force directly in newtons. Which judgment is correct?

The claim is correct only when the velocity function is linear in time

The claim is incorrect because force should be reported in kilograms per meter

The claim is incorrect because acceleration must be expressed in meters per second squared to obtain force in newtons

The claim is correct because any length unit combined with kilograms defines a newton
