See the reference for the Lagrangians for the electroweak interaction. After several years of advanced math, you'll be able to use them.

Depends completely on which interaction you are looking at. There are basically three types, and three particles of the force (W+, W- and Z bosons):
1. A charged lepton (such as an electron or a muon) can emit or absorb a W boson and convert into a corresponding neutrino.
2. A down-type quark (with charge -1/3) can emit or absorb a W boson and convert into a superposition of up-type quarks. Conversely, an up-type quark can convert into a superposition of down-type quarks.
3. Either a lepton or a quark can emit or absorb a Z boson.
And this doesn't even get into the Electro-Weak interactions (weak and electromagnetic unified)

Weak forces equation involves lot of Quantum chromodynamics and Group theory like SU(n) -special Unitary expression.
Please give me your mail id. I have a pdf document forward it to you.

to work out force you can use the fomula momentum /time
or mass x constant acceleration
