Force is a push or pull that can change the motion or shape of an object. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The SI unit for force is the newton (N).

When you sit in a chair what force does it exert against you?

A force exactly equal to the weight of your posterior against the chair. You know positively that the forces there must exactly cancel and add to zero, otherwise a net, non-zero force would be present, and your butt would accelerate.
