Abstract
Two types of forces are discussed in this chapter: friction forces and spring forces. We start with the former and consider a simple classical experiment. Based on this experiment, general (coordinate-free) expressions for friction forces are obtained. The chapter closes with the corresponding developments for a spring force.
