Force "Force" is an external or internal agent present to "influence" the natural state of motion of an object.

So this is an influence (force) needed to change the natural state of body; that is of rest or of uniform motion. Muscular Force A mechanical force generated from the contraction of specialized cells that can contract and in most muscles, the energy is transmitted out thru the bones on pivots(joints) pulled by tendons. Example: Movable bones (arms, legs, etc.) require opposing sets of muscles. Muscles can apply force only by contracting and opposing muscles must relax. It is possible to consciously strongly tense (contract) opposing muscles without motion or to relax opposing muscles at the same time. Mechanical Force Force created by the movement of an object over a distance is known as Mechanical force. It can also be defined as the force applied by using machines. Example: Force used in tractors, bulldozers, etc. Gravitation Force There is a gravitational force acting between any two objects in the universe. There is a gravitational force between you and Earth. There is also a gravitational force between you and the Sun, between you and all the other planets, and between you and the people sitting next to you. Why do we fall down towards Earth rather than towards the Sun, another planet, or the people next to us? The force of gravity between us and Earth is larger than the force from any of these other objects. The force of gravity between two objects depends on the masses of the two objects and the distance between the centers of the two objects. Example:

All objects close to the Earth surface fall toward the surface. Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth; for the formation of tides; for convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a temperature gradient and gravity; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena observed on Earth. Earth's gravity pulls other objects towords it's center without touching them. An objects weight is the amount of gravitatinal force. Magnetic Force Magnetic force is the same as gravitational and electrical forces in that no one knows truly what it is. Magnetic force is different from gravitational and electrical forces in that its potential and momentic energy is at the expense of an electrical field in time. The existence of a magnetic field is a necessary consequence of the laws of electrostatics, and the principles of special relativity. One of the prerequisites of special relativity is there must be motion, and it is in effect when the observer is in motion relative to the system from the observer's point of view. Example Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation), is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets (magnetic force)for lift and propulsion. Frictional Forcd Friction is a force that is created whenever two surfaces move or try to move across each other. Friction always opposes the motion or attempted motion of one surface across another surface. Friction is dependant on the texture of both surfaces. Friction is also dependant on the amount of contact force pushing the two surfaces together (normal force). Example Rub your hands together and feel the warmth

Roll a penny and watch it stop. Friction of the air and the rolling resistance is what slows it down Meteors hitting the earths atmosphere - the friction is what causes the heat that makes them burn up

Static Electric Force Static electricity refers to the build up of electric charge on the surface of objects. The static charges remain on an object until they either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a discharge. Although charge exchange can happen whenever any two surfaces come into contact and separate, a static charge only remains when at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical flow (an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because we can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example, a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static 'shock' is caused by the neutralization of charge. Examples rubbing a balloon on your head, and bringing it close to a wall and seeing if it stays mounted. shuffling your feet across a carpeted floor and then touching a metal object. rubbing an object (i.e. some sort of plastic scoop) against a material (i.e. cotton) and placing it beside running water.
