TYPES OF FORCE


1. **Gravitational Force**: The force of attraction between two masses, such as the gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface.

2. **Electromagnetic Force**: The force between charged particles, like the repulsion between two positively charged protons or the attraction between a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron.

3. **Electrostatic Force**: The force between stationary electric charges, for example, the force between charged objects like when a balloon sticks to a wall after being rubbed on hair.

4. **Magnetic Force**: The force exerted between magnetic poles or moving charges, like the force between the north and south poles of magnets.

5. **Normal Force**: The force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it, such as the force exerted by a table to support a book placed on it.

6. **Frictional Force**: The force that opposes the motion of objects sliding against each other, like the friction between a car's tires and the road surface.

7. **Tension Force**: The force transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends, such as the tension in a rope holding up a hanging weight.

8. **Spring Force**: The force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring, for example, the force exerted by a compressed spring when it pushes against an object. 

These are some of the fundamental types of forces in physics.
