Symbol: f
Definition: at a given point within a three-dimensional domain with quasi-infinitesimal volume dV, vector quantity equal to the resultant force dF applied to the domain divided by its volume, thus f = dF/dV

NOTE 1 Force density is an intensive quantity describing a force field F(r).

NOTE 2 The coherent SI unit of force density is newton per cubic metre, N/m3.
