[Fr.; L.L. forcia, fortia, from L. fortis, strong.) 1. In physics, that which is the source of all the active phenomena occurring in the material world, and of which motion, gravitation, heat, light, electricity and magnetism, cohesion, chemical affinity, are believed to be exhibitions; that which produces or tends to produce change; energy; as, the conservation of force. -2. Any one of the various modes or conditions under which force exhibits itself, as motion, heat, light, &c.; as, the correlation of forces. The transformation and equivalence of foras is seen by men of science to hold not only throughout all inorganic actions but throughout all organic actions; even mental changes are recognized as the correlatives of cerebral changes which also conform to this principle; and there must be admitted the corollary, that all actions going on in a society are measured by certain antecedent energies which dis. appear in effecting them, while they themseives be. come actual or potential energies through which sub. sequent actions arise.

A body of men prepared for action in other ways; as, a police force.-10. In law, any unlawful violence to person or property. This is simple, when no other crime attends it, as the entering into another's possession without committing any other unlawful act.

(Rare.] Good reasons must, of force, give place to better. Shak. - Noforce, t no matter.-I dono force, I care not. Chaucer. Kinetic force or energy, the force which a body actually moving can exert, at any instant of its motion, on another body resisting it, as the force with which an arm actually in motion would strike any opposing object. -- Potential force or energy, the energy stored up, as it were, in a body, and which it is capable of exerting, as distinguished from kinetic energy, or that which it exerts at any moment. Hence, the potential energy of an arm is the energy residing in it when at rest, or the residue between the force actually being exerted by the arm when moving and the highest degree of force it is capable of exerting. It is thus obvious that, the higher the kinetic force, the less is the potential, and rice versu-the one force being the complement of the other. - Correlation of forces, the doctrine that force or energy can exhibit itself in various definite modes or conditions, each of which is called 'a force,' these 'forces' being mutually convertible into each other under certain conditions or circumstances. Thus motion, on being suddenly retarded or strongly resisted, becomes sensible heat, or, in certain circumstances, heat and light. This is observed when a bullet strikes against a target, when a piece of iron is hammered till it is red hot, or when heat and flame are generated by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Heat, in like manner, becomes motion or motive power when it expands water into steam which lifts the piston of a steam-engine. Conservation of force or energy, the doctrine that the total amount of force or energy in the universe is always the same, though it may change its condition or mode of exhibition. See extract The 'great philosophical doctrine of the present era of science,' as the subject about to engage our attention has been justly termed, bears the title of the Conservation of Force,' or, as some ambiguity is likely to attend the definition of the term 'Force, the .Conservation of Energy.' The basis of the doctrine is the broad and comprehensive natural law which teaches us that the quantity of force comprised by the universe, like the quantity of matter contained in it, is a fixed and invariable amount, which can be neither added to nor taken from, but which is for ever undergoing change and transformation from one form to another. That we cannot create force ought to be as obvious a fact as that we cannot create matter; and what we cannot create we cannot de. stroy. And force we are taught is indestruc. tible; therefore motion must be indestructible also. But when a falling body strikes the earth, or a gun. shot strikes its target, or a hammer delivers a blow upon an anvil, or a brake is pressed against a rotating wheel, motion is arrested, and it would seem natural to infer that it is destroyed. But if we say it is indestructible, what becomes of it! The philosophical answer to the question is this, that the motion of the mass becomes transferred to the particles or molecules composing it, and transformed to molecular motion, and this molecular motion manifests itself to us as heat. The particles or atoms of matter are held together by cohesion, or, in other words, by the action of inolecular attraction. When heat is applied to these particles, motion is set up among them, they are set in vibration, and thus requiring and making wider room, they urge each other apart, and the well-known expansion by heat is the result. If the heat be further continued a more violent molecular motion ensues, every increase of heat tending to urge the atoms further apart, till at length they overcome their cohesive attraction and move about each other, and a liquid or molten condition results. If the heat be still further increased, the atoms break away from their cohesive fetters altogether, and leap off the mass in the form of vapour, and the matter thus assumes the gaseous or vaporons form. Thus we see that the phenomena of heat are phenomena of motion, and of motion only. Nasmyth and Carpenter -Moral force, the power of acting on the reason in judging and determining. -- Physical force, material influence; coercion, as by mere bodily strength. - Mechanical force, the power which produces or tends to produce motion, or an alteration in the direction of motion. Mechanical forces are of two sorts; one of a body at rest, being the same as pressure or tension; the other of a body in motion, being the same as impetus or momentum. The degree of resistance to any motion may be measured by the active force required to overcome that resistance, and hence writers on mechanics make use of the terms resisting forces and retarding forces. When two forces act on a body in the same line of direction, the resulting force, or resultant as it is called, will be the sum of both forces. If they act in opposite directions, the body will remain at rest if the forces be equal; or, if the forces be unequal, it will move with a force equivalent to their difference in the direction of the greater. If the lines of direction make an angle with each other, the resultant will be a mean force in an intermediate direction.-Composition of forces, the combining of two or more forces into one which shall have the same effect when acting in some given direction; resolution of forces, the decomposing of a single force into two or more forces, which, acting in different directions, shall be equivalent to the single force. The fundamental proposition of the composition of forces is as follows: - Any two forces acting at the same point, and represented in magnitude and direction by two straight lines, are equivalent to a third force which is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram constructed with the two lines as its sides. Thus, let a body at A be acted upon by two D forces at the same instant,one of which would cause it to move over the line AB in a given time, and the other acting alone would cause it to move over the line ac in the same time; then the direction of the motion resulting from the action of both forces will be that of the diagonal AD of the parallelogram AB DC, and at the end of the given time the body will be found at D. The diagonal AD represents the resultant of the forces in the directions AB and AC, and is equivalent to them both. By means of this proposition the resultant of any number of forces whatever may be found, and also, any given force may be resolved into two others, such that the straight lines by which they are represented form the two sides of a parallelogram, of which the line representing the given force is the diagonal. The proposition is frequently termed the parallelogram of forces, and is of great importance in mechanical science, Forces have different denominations according to their nature and the manner in which they act; thus, we have accelerating forces, central forces, constant forces, parallel forces, uniform and variable forces, &c. See these terms in their proper places. ---Moving force or motive force, the same as Momentum. Permanent force, that which acts constantly; thus, the action of a weight suspended from a cord, or resting on a surface, is a permanent force. - Impulsive force, that which is applied suddenly to a body and immediately ceases to act upon it, as the blow of a hammer or percussion. - Animal force, that which results from the muscular power of men, horses, and other animals. - Line of direction of a force, the straight line in which any force tends to make a body move. Similar forces acting on a body cause it to move in a straight line, but if the forces be dissimilar, the body will move in a curve line depending on the nature of the forces. Thus, a cannon-ball is acted on by the impulse of the charge, and by the force of gravity, and in consequence of these two dissimilar forces describes the curve of a parabola. -- Polygon of forces. See POLYGON. -- Unit of force, the single force in terms of which the amount of any other force is ascertained, and which is generally some known weight, as a pound. - Equilibrium of forces, the condition produced when any number of forces, which being applied to FORCE 313 FORE a body, destroy one another's tendency to 3.
