One joule is defined as the amount of energy exerted when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter.

One newton is the force required to cause a mass of one kilogram to accelerate at a rate of one meter per second squared in the absence of other force-producing effects.

Where did you come up with two kilograms?

Back to the drawing board.
