A force that arises when one macroscopic body presses against another. |
When one macroscopic body encounters another, the bodies cannot simply pass through each other. Instead, their contact results in a change in the motion of each body. Because contact forces are so common in mechanics, there are several important special cases of contact forces that are commonly encountered. - Applied Force:
