Every day you can observe force around you. When you walk from school to home, before entering, you open the closed door by pushing. While you get up from the school desk, you are pushing yourself against the desk. To make breakfast, your mother will apply force to make chapatis.
Force can be defined as something that tends to change the shape and state of a body; that is, if a body is at rest, it can be changed to a moving state by applying force, it can also change the direction in which a body is moving. Force is measured in terms of newton.
