The force or weight of an object being moved is called the load.

Here's why:

* Force: Load refers to the force that needs to be overcome to move the object. This force can be due to gravity (weight) or other factors like friction.

* Weight: In many contexts, "load" specifically refers to the object's weight, which is the force exerted on it due to gravity.

So, when you're moving a heavy box, the weight of the box is the load you are carrying.
