What is a force out in baseball and how does it differ from a tag out?

A force out in baseball happens when a runner is forced to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a base runner. The fielder only needs to touch the base with the ball to get the runner out. A tag out, on the other hand, occurs when a fielder tags a runner with the ball before the runner reaches the base.

Man at first ground ball first baseman tags first runner does not advance to second stays on first is this a double play?

If the runner remains standing on the bag when the 1st baseman touches the bag and the 1st baseman does not tag the runner prior to touching the bag, then the runner is safe and you have no double play. Answer To clarify, once the Batter becomes a batter-runner, the runner at first loses his right to occupy first base and is forced to advance. If he is tagged while standing on the base, he is out. If the first baseman then steps on first base the Batter-runner is also out -- Double Play. BUT, if the first baseman first steps on the base the batter-runner is out and the force is removed. If the runner standing on first base is now tagged he is safe.
