Definitions
SPACE:
- Geometric region occupied by bodies whose positions are described by linear & angular measurements related to coordinate systems of 2D or 3D
FORCE:
- action of one body on another
- tends to move a body in the direction of its application
- action of force depends on: Magnitude Direction of action Point of application
