No. Force is required not pressure.Originally Posted by GazLee
That's a sloppy way of expressing it. Pressure is force per unit area: no force, no pressure.all pressure requires a pushing force
Wrong.so therefore "pull" is not force in its self?
There has to be a pressure (push) to start anything to move, so "pull" is not a force.
No.
There has to be an applied force. It needn't be a push.
This is incorrect., so "pull" is not a force.
Where is the "push" applied when a trailer is towed?
The push comes from the tower. Like if you want to pull something like a rope, you're hand needs to push down on the rope creating pressure.No.

I get it. You can push something from in front.
And that only applies a "push" to the rope.Like if you want to pull something like a rope, you're hand needs to push down on the rope creating pressure.
The rope then pulls on the towed object.
If you have a loop in the end of the rope you just link your hand through it and then you don't need to push on anything. A rope is actually a perfect example of something that exerts a force by pulling. Something pulls the rope and it goes tight due to the force of tension in it, as it pulls whatever the object is. The tension in the cables is what enables a suspension bridge to hold up the roadway.The push comes from the tower.

Where you have a point is, going back to your pressure idea, that when vacuum cleaner "sucks" up dust, it does not pull on it. It just takes away the atmospheric pressure that is normally exerted from all sides on objects, and that pressure imbalance is what causes the dust to move into the suction tube.
Try moving anything without a pushing pressure, "pulling" is a description of the action. You need to add pressure inside the loop, in order for the "pull" to take place.
If all you mean is that any pull involves a push (part of the rope is pushing against part of the loop when the cart is being pulled) then that’s another topic for debate. In physics “a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object”.1 And “pulling the cart” simply means that the vector of the applied force of “that small portion of rope against that small portion of the loop” is aimed away from the cart as opposed to being aimed towards it.

"Pull" is the result of a pushing force, "pull" itself is not a force.
Repeating an incorrect (and unsupported) claim does not make that claim valid.
Moved to Pseudo.
I don't see what is hard to understand here, something has to push against whatever is being "pulled" at the very source, nothing moves without pressure and you cannot have pressure without a pushing motion. Try it yourself.
Me neither, but you're having quite a bit of difficulty anyway, aren't you?
Wrong. As has been pointed out.something has to push against whatever is being "pulled" at the very source
Wrong. As has been pointed out.nothing moves without pressure
Or, “pull” is just a series of contact forces in which the final one has an applied vector away from the object moved, and the particle of speech “‘pull’ itself” is meaningless.
I've had the same idea that pulls do not exist as forces, that they are really pushes in disguise (for example, pulling on a door is really pushing the handle/knob towards you).
If we define "push" as exerting a force in the opposite direction from yourself and "pull" as exerting a force in the direction of yourself, then gravity is always a pull, as well as electric forces between opposite charged objects.
In the case of a trailer, the net force on the trailer from the rope is in the direction of the rope, so is a pull. But the end of the rope is pushing on the hook of the trailer.
Newton's Third tells us that every "push" is matched by a "pull".
Or, to put it another way, you are just playing with words. This has nothing to do with science.
