Explanation :

  • Force is defined as the pushing or pulling of an item.
  • Push and pull are caused by the interaction of two things.
  • Force may also be expressed using terms like stretch and crush.
  • A force is an external agent that may change the condition of rest or motion of a body.
  • It has a magnitude as well as a direction.
  • The direction of the force is the place where force is applied, and the application of force is the location where force is applied.
  • If there are two forces of the same magnitude and one of them is acting towards east while the other is acting towards west, their effect will be different.
  • Thus, to define a force accurately, both magnitude and direction are required.
  • The force is not defined by the shape and size of the object on which it is acting.
