Force: A push or a pull on an object is called a force. It has a magnitude and a direction. The direction towards which the force is applied is known as the direction of the force and the application of force is the point where force is applied. It has two types as explained below:-
Contact force
Non-Contact force
A contact force acts at the point at which two objects come into contact with each other.
Forces that arise without the contact of 2 or more objects involved.
For example, Normal force, Tension, Muscular force, Applied force, Frictional force, Air resistance force, Spring force, etc.
For example, Magnetic Force, Electrostatic Force, Gravitational force, Pseudo Force, etc.
Magnetic Force:
The attractive or repulsive force that arises between two electrically charged particles because of their motion is called Magnetic force.
Compass, Motor, and train tracks are the few examples of magnetic force.
Gravitational Force:
It is a type of conservative force because the work done to move an object to and away in the gravitational field is independent of the path taken.
Gravitational force does not depend on the intervening medium between the objects.
Muscular force:
It is a force that results because of the action of muscles and is a contact force since there is contact between the surfaces.
All our body activities like lifting, getting up from a seat, crossing a leg, running, bending, etc require muscular force.
