Knight’s Definition
A force …
is a push or a pull on an object.
It is a vector. It has both magnitude and direction.
It requires an agent. Something does the pushing or pulling.
It is either a contact force or a long-range force (gravity).

Force
Types
Force, like any vector is drawn as an arrow with the symbol or
magnitude and units.
The tail of the force is placed on the part of the object that is
experiencing the force.
In a free-body diagram, the tail is placed on the point
representing the particle.
The direction of the force and its magnitude are determined by
the type of force it is.

Force
The SI unit of force is the Newton
(abbreviated as N).
One Newton is the same as one
kilogram-meter per second squared.
Another unit of force is the pound.
