AI Thread Summary
A pull is defined as a force directed away from an object. The discussion questions the clarity of what object or source the pull is associated with. Some argue that a pull should be described in relation to the object being pulled rather than the source of the force. This perspective emphasizes the interaction between forces and bodies. Ultimately, the definition of a pull remains centered on its directional nature in relation to objects.

? what object?

I would say in the same vein, "what source of force?" Forces act upon bodies. To me at least, it makes more sense to describe it in terms of the object being pulled.

Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
