### Does the weak force have an attractive/repulsive force observable in everyday life like the other forces?

After the correct comments, this question is not here to compare gravity's and EM's long range forces' energetics and amplitudes to microscopic scattering amplitudes of such forces as weak and strong. ...

### If strong force is not a classical force that attracts and pulls the particles together then why does it keep the particles bound together?

(a) In another answer someone said that Strong force etc are not classical forces that push or pull particles in the classical sense but are interactions between states. If this is true then why ...
