Answer
Force is any push or pull that changes or tends to change the state of rest or uniform motion of a body.
F = ma (Newton's Second Law) | SI unit: Newton (N) = 1 kg·m/s²
Four fundamental forces of nature:
- Gravitational
- Electromagnetic
- Strong Nuclear

Sir Isaac Newton formally defined force in Principia Mathematica (1687).
Force in one word: Push or Pull (technically: "Interaction").
