what particles do the strong and weak nuclear forces act on



state what particles do the strong and weak nuclear forces act on
 the strong force is the force between the quarks in ether a proton or neutron. the force is mediated by a quantum of interaction called gluon,  the force is force remain as far as the exchange of this gluon continue between the quarks.
 therefore quarks are the particles on which strong force act upon. the nucleons are held by a force called the inter-nucleon force( which is a residual strong force).
no nuclear particles is held under weak nuclear force, this force is only available where there is an interaction outside nuclear distance when the strong force is weak, example beta decay.
