Newton's second law is given by,
 
F = kma
 
Here, k is a praportionality constant.
 
Now, the SI unit of force is defined as,
 
1N Force = Force that causes an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass 1 kg
 
1 N = 1 kg.m/s2
 
This defination of 1 N force gives k =1 such that,
 
F = ma
 
Thus, for simplysity k is defined as 1.
 
Physicits consider that, system of units in which k has to be taken differnt form 1 is not consistant and it makes the calculations very difficult.
