Expert Answer:
When the body is at the highest point of its motion its velocity is zero but it is acted upon by the acceleration due to gravity(while it is at rest for a moment at the highest point). Thus, the force due to gravity acts on the stone in the downward direction.
Force = mg = 1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N
