There are several types, including: applied (from person or machine), tension (from string or cable), gravity (between masses), normal (perpendicular to surface), friction (moving across a surface), thrust (from pushing something the other way), drag (resistance from air or other fluid), buoyancy (from displacing a fluid), and lift (on wings moving through air).
