To move an object that is at rest, you must overcome all other forces that are acting on the object, such as friction.
To stop a more massive object, you typically need a force that is greater than the object's momentum. This force must act in the opposite direction of the object's motion in order to decelerate it and eventually bring it to a stop. The larger the mass of the object, the greater the force required to stop it.
The force that can change an object's position is an unbalanced force.
From that information, we can't calculate the mass of the object. But we can calculate the strength of the force that was used to move it. Work = (force) times (distance) 372 = (force) times (16) Force = 372 / 16 = 23.25 newtons
A movable pulley can increase the effort force. By attaching the pulley to the object being lifted and pulling downward, the force required to lift the object is reduced, making it easier to lift heavier loads.
The kind of pulley attached directly to the object being moved is known as a fixed pulley. It acts as a redirection point for the rope or cable, changing the direction of the force applied. However, it does not provide any mechanical advantage.

Forceps are considered a type of lever, as they use the principle of a lever to amplify force or modify the direction of force applied. By applying force at one end of the forceps, the object being grasped can be moved or manipulated at the other end.
There is no such thing as an amount of force needed to move a certain distance. Asteroids, comets, moons, and planets have been moving trillions of miles through space for billions of years with either no force on them at all, or no force in the direction they're moving. You may have heard of Newton's First Law. It says that an object with no forces acting on it keeps moving in a straight line at a constant speed, which is kind of another good way of saying that it can move as far as you want it to with no force on it.
The force that acts on an object and causes a change in its motion is called unbalanced force. When the forces acting on an object are not in equilibrium, causing a net force in a particular direction, it can result in the object accelerating or decelerating.
An object at rest or in motion with no force acting upon it.
