    Is there a way to set a force to a certain group of rigidbodies in let's say 3 units radius from my main obj?

    The easiest way to do this is by making a trigger collider.

    Inside function OnTriggerStay, you apply a force which pulls towards the center of the trigger.

    Check out Physics.OverlapSphere() and the Explosion.js script in the Script Tutorial project.

    edit: Joachim's way is even better. :)
