None of the provided responses accurately defines mechanical force. Mechanical force is typically defined as the influence that causes an object to undergo a change in speed, direction, or shape. It can be described as the vector quantity resulting from the interaction of objects, and is often measured in newtons (N).
However, if I had to choose the closest statement from your provided responses, it might be "the amount of energy used to move an object," but that still doesn't precisely define mechanical force.
The correct definition would usually mention mass and acceleration, as per Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
