What are the equations for the strong and weak force, like how for the Electrostatics the equation is $F_c= k*Q*q/(r*r)$. I understand to an extend what the strong and weak forces are. However, I would like to know what the equations for calculating the forces. Also can you explain how the equations works and define the variables.

I understand that they may not be as simple and as pretty and the electrostatic one.

There is and there isn't an equation. What I mean is that there is no universal equation for all cases. For example, the equation for strong force $V(r) = - \frac{4}{3} \frac{\alpha_s(r) \hbar c}{r} + kr$ only applies to quarkonium. This is different for the gravity equation which applies in all cases.
