A dart board uses the force of impact from a dart hitting its surface to lodge the dart into the board. The force required is enough to pierce the board's material and remain securely in place.

The center of a dart board is called the bullseye. It is typically worth the most points and is surrounded by the inner bullseye and outer bullseye.
The reaction force when a boy pushes down on a diving board is the diving board pushing back up on the boy with an equal force, according to Newton's Third Law of Motion.
If you draw lines of action of all the forces acting on the board and extend them, you will get a resultant force vector known as the net force. This net force represents the combined effect of all the individual forces acting on the board. In equilibrium, the net force will be zero, indicating that the board is not accelerating in any direction.
The force keeping a board afloat is buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it. This force is due to the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object, pushing it upwards and preventing it from sinking.
The input force is the force applied by the person using the hammer to pull the nail. The output force is the force exerted by the hammer on the nail to pull it out of the board. The output distance is the distance the nail moves as it is being pulled out of the board.
