Force: f=(kgm)/s^2
Pressure: N/(m^2)
Density: d=(kg)/(m^3)

Explanation:

Force is mass times acceleration, so:
f=ma m is mass in kilograms and a is acceleration in meters per second squared.
f=(kg)(m)/(s^2)
f=(kgm)/s^2

Pressure is measured in force over surface area, or N/(m^2)

Density is measured in units of mass over volume, so:
d=m/V m is mass in kilograms and V is volume in terms of meters cubed.
d=(kg)/(m^3)
