Force

The action on a body which tends to change its relative condition as to rest or motion. OR That which can accelerate a mass. An example of a force is weight, which acts to accelerate any mass towards the centre of the earth. Structural engineering is about providing structures which are strong enough to resist the weight and other forces acting on them. In the SIsystem, force is measured in Newtons. A vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application.
