Solution
It is beyond the scope of our domain.
You need to have in-depth knowledge in Quantum Mechanics to understand the nuclear force thoroughly.
At the level of quantum hadron dynamics (i.e. the level of nuclear physics, not the level of particle physics where the real strong force lives) one can talk about a Yukawa potential of the form
V(r)=−g^2/4πc^2 . e−^mr/r where m is roughly the pion mass and g is an effective coupling constant. To get the force related to this you would take the derivative in r.
This is a semi-classical approximation, but it is good enough that Walecka uses it breifly in his book.
