Force may be defined as a push or pull that disturbs or tends to disturb the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body.
In other words, it is a push or pull that disturbs or tends to disturb the inertia of a body.
Force has a formula, F= ma,
where m=> mass of the body and a=> acceleration of the body.
As force is a product of a scalar(mass) and a vector(acceleration) it is a vector quantity.
