Force, in physics, any action or influence that accelerates an object. Force is a vector, which means that it has both direction and magnitude. When several forces act on an object, the forces can be combined to give a net force.

influence that accelerates an object. Force is a vector, which means that it has both direction and magnitude. When several forces act on an object, the forces can be combined to give a net force. RELATION B/W MASS ACCELERATION AND FORCE The net force acting on an object, the object's mass, and the acceleration of the object are all related to each other by Newton's second law of motion, named after English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton. NEWTON’S SECOND LAW
The second law of motion states that
the acceleration an object experiences multiplied by the mass of the object is equal to the net force acting on an object. Thus, if a given force acts on two objects of different mass, the object with a larger mass will have a lower acceleration EXAMPLE OF FORCE An object experiences a force when it is pushed or pulled by another object. For example, shoving a stationary shopping cart applies a force that causes the shopping cart to accelerate.An object can also experience a force because of the influence of a field. For example, a dropped ball accelerates toward the ground because of the presence of the gravitational field UNITS OF FORCE
In the international system of units,
the unit of force is the newton, which is the force that imparts to an object with a mass of 1 kg an acceleration of 1 m/sec2. In English units, the unit of force is the poundal, which is the amount of force that accelerates a 1- lb object 1 ft/sec2. INTERACTIONS
Forces acting at the molecular and
atomic level are also known as interactions. TYPES OF FORCE
TORQUE PRESSURE TORQUE
Torque, in engineering and
mechanics, a twisting effort applied to an object that tends to make the object turn about its axis of rotation. The magnitude of a torque is equal to the magnitude of the applied force multiplied by the distance between the object's axis of rotation and the point where the force is applied. PRESSURE
Pressure, in mechanics, the force per
unit area exerted by a liquid or gas on a body or surface, with the force acting at right angles to the surface uniformly in all directions. PASCAL’S LAW Pascal’s Law Developed by French Mathematician Blaise Pascal, states that the pressure on a fluid is equal in all directions and in all parts of the container. As liquid flows into the large container at the bottom of this illustration, pressure pushes the liquid equally up into the tubes above the container. The liquid rises to the same level in all of the tubes, reguardless of the shape or angle of the tube BOYLE’S LAW Boyle’s Law Boyle’s law, developed by English scientist Robert Boyle, states that the pressure of a gas times its volume is equal to a constant number, for a gas at a constant temperature. This relationship means that pressure increases as volume decreases, and vice versa. In this graph, the product of pressure and volume anywhere along one of the lines of constant temperate should be equal.
