Force Calculator (Physics)

Force is a physical quantity that describes the interaction between two objects or systems, which can cause them to accelerate, change direction, or deform. It is typically measured in Newtons (N) and is represented by the symbol F. According to Newton's second law of motion, force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration (F=ma). In other words, the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force required to move it, and the greater the acceleration of an object, the greater the force required to cause that acceleration.

There are many types of forces, including gravitational force, electromagnetic force, frictional force, and tension force. Gravitational force is the force that attracts two objects toward each other based on their mass and distance. Electromagnetic force is the force that exists between charged particles and is responsible for interactions between electrically charged objects. Frictional force is the force that opposes the motion of an object as it slides or rolls over a surface. Tension force is the force transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire when it is pulled tight.

In engineering and physics, force is a fundamental concept that is used to explain and predict the behavior of physical systems. It is used in many fields, including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. The study of forces and their effects is crucial to the design and operation of machines, vehicles, structures, and many other systems.

The acceleration due to Earth's gravity is around 9.8 meters per square second.
