No this is not possible. According to the newton's third law of motion every action has an equal and opposite reaction, therefore if you will apply a force then an equal and opposite force will act on the body applying force. So it is quite impossible to say that an isolated force can exists.

Is it possible to have a single force?

In physics, a single force can be composed of multiple individual forces acting in different directions. For example, a net force on an object is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on it. So while a single force can be the result of multiple components, it is not possible for a single isolated force to exist without any other forces present.


A closed system in which the net external force on the system is zero is a what?

A closed system in which the net external force is zero is in mechanical equilibrium.


Will a body be in equilibrium under action of a single force?

No, a body will not be in equilibrium under the action of a single force. For a body to be in equilibrium, the vector sum of all the forces acting on the body must be zero. A single force cannot balance itself out, so it will cause the body to accelerate in the direction of the force.


What is single force?

A single force is a push or pull that acts on an object resulting in a change in its motion or shape. It is described by its magnitude, direction, and point of application. The overall effect of multiple forces acting on an object can be simplified by combining them into a single force, known as the resultant force.


Explain why a single force cannot exist?

A single force cannot exist because forces are interactions between two or more objects. For a force to be present, there must be an object or system exerting the force and another object or system experiencing the force. It is this interaction that defines and characterizes a force.
