What is a FORCE?
represents the action of one body on another that tends to change the state or state of motion of a body. y may be exerted by actual contact or at a distance (e.g. gravitational and magnetic forces). characterized by its point of application, magnitude and direction. represented by a vector.

Properties of a FORCE
A force represents the action of one body on another and is generally characterized by its point of application, its magnitude, and its direction. Forces acting on a given particle, however, have the same point of application.

DEFINITION
Particles - in the context of this course, does not indicate smallness of size, rather, it means that the shape and size of the object does not significantly affect the solution of the problems under consideration. Rigid Bodies - the problems considered in this course are assumed to be non-deformable. Again, such assumption does not significantly affect the solution of the problems under consideration.
