Surface force generally refers to forces that act on the surface of a body or object, often in the context of physics and engineering. Here are some common interpretations of surface force: 1. **Mechanical Surface Forces**: In mechanics, surface forces include tension, shear stress, and pressure that occur at the boundary of materials or interfaces. These forces can influence how materials deform or fail and are critical in understanding the behavior of structures under load.
