Classification of Forces

There are many ways to classify forces. For the purposes of the modeling approach to physics, the most important classifications to understand are Internal vs. External and Conservative vs. Non-Conservative. Another commonly encountered classification of forces is by their status as "fundamental" vs. phenomenological.
