Asked in Science
When a machine is used to do work the force applied by the machine is called the effort force?

There is no force called effort force.All force are called
force.
You may heard Gravitational force, frictional force before
because that is the name given by the scientist.
So if you do not know what is the name(because sometimes there
is none,just like your case on force provided by a machine) just
simply call it a force.
