Contact forces are forces that can only have an effect on objects that they touch, such as when you contact a box and apply force to move it. you might apply a contact force to bend, tear, stretch, compress, or twist and abject. Tension force, friction force, and elastic force are examples of contact forces.

Where do forces take place?
Forces take place when there is an interaction between two or more objects. These interactions can occur through contact forces, such as friction or tension, or through non-contact forces, such as gravitational or electromagnetic forces. Forces can influence the motion or deformation of objects.
