This tag is for the classical concept of forces, i.e. the quantities causing an acceleration of a body. It expands to the strong/electroweak force only insofar as they act comparable to ‘classical’ forces. Use the [particle-physics] tag for decay channels due to forces and [newtonian-mechanics] or one of the other subtopics of [classical-mechanics] for the dynamics of classical systems.

How can a massless string move if the net force on it is always zero?

Lets say we have a frictionless and massless pulley with a massless string over it. There are two masses attached to it $m_1$ and $m_2$ where $m_2>m_1$. So $m_2$ would an experience an acceleration do …
