This chapter (and much of the rest of this book) deals with dynamics, that is, the relation between the forces acting on a body and its motion. A force is an interaction between a body (or particle) and its environment, often described as a push or a pull in a specified direction. In this book you will encounter a number of familiar forces, such as the gravitational force and forces exerted by springs, as well as a few less-familiar ones.
