To apply a force, you need to exert a push or pull on an object. This can be done by using your muscles, machines, or other tools to generate a physical interaction that causes the object to move or change its direction. The force applied is typically described in terms of its magnitude and direction.

Motion of an object can be produced by applying a force to it. According to Newton's laws of motion, an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. By applying a force in the direction you want the object to move, you can produce its motion.
The force you apply to a simple machine is known as the input force. This force is used to perform work on the machine, such as lifting an object or moving a load. The output force generated by the machine is what ultimately helps to make the work easier to accomplish.
To apply a force, you need an object to apply the force on and a source of the force, such as a person, machine, or any other external agent. The force is typically exerted by pushing or pulling on the object in a certain direction.
When you push against an object, the force you apply is called the applied force. This force is the external force exerted on the object by you pushing against it.
In a machine, the effort force you apply is used to overcome a resistance force. The resistance force is the force that the machine acts against in order to perform work.
