    /** This class defines a ParticleAffector which applies a linear force to particles in a system.
    @remarks
        This affector (see ParticleAffector) applies a linear force, such as gravity, to a particle system.
        This force can be applied in 2 ways: by taking the average of the particle's current momentum and the 
        force vector, or by adding the force vector to the current particle's momentum. 
    @par
        The former approach is self-stabilising i.e. once a particle's momentum
        is equal to the force vector, no further change is made to it's momentum. It also results in
        a non-linear acceleration of particles.
        The latter approach is simpler and applies a constant acceleration to particles. However,
        it is not self-stabilising and can lead to perpetually increasing particle velocities. 
        You choose the approach by calling the setForceApplication method.
