Force can be expressed in kilograms. Kilograms force, kgf, as noted up thread. It's a bit of a cludge though, and means your answer won't come out in SI units.Force = Mass x Acceleration so, rearranging this, Acceleration = Force/Mass
Mass is constant so assuming you want to achieve the same rate of Acceleration by both methods of imparting the Force, the Force must be the same.
By the way, Force is expressed in Newtons, not Kilograms. And Torque is NewtonMetres (Nm)

Mass is not force. Mass can give force proportionate to the acceleration of the object.Force can be expressed in kilograms. Kilograms force, kgf, as noted up thread. It's a bit of a cludge though, and means your answer won't come out in SI units.

I think you missed the question. It was comparing pushing a vehicle to turning it's wheel with a ratchet. If the ratchet is longer than the wheel radius then the force required to turn it will be reduced.
I still deal with some stuff also that spec kgf, I even have a torque wrench old enough that the metric scale is in kgf too
1kgf is roughly 10 Newtons
