Force is a physical quantity that describes an interaction capable of changing the motion of an object. It is central to many disciplines: mechanical engineering for designing structures and machines, physics for studying Newton's laws of motion, aerospace for calculating thrust and drag, and construction for ensuring load-bearing safety.
Different unit systems are used to express force: the SI system uses newtons (N), kilonewtons (kN), and meganewtons (MN), while the imperial system relies on pound-force (lbf) and poundals (pdl). Older systems include kilogram-force (kgf), still used in some engineering contexts, and dynes (dyn) from the CGS system, common in older scientific literature.
