The effects of the three-body force are investigated in the three-nucleon systems. The three-body Faddeev equation is completely solved with a phenomenological three-body force which can reproduce the triton binding energy. The adopted two-body force is the PEST potential (or the Ernst-Shakin-Thaler's separable expansion of the Paris potential) up to [ital J]=2. Calculated results of the differential cross section, and the values of the doublet and the quartet [ital n]-[ital d] scattering lengths, agree very well with the experimental data. The calculated three-body-force effects on the [ital N]-[ital d] scattering observables [ital A][sub [ital y]], [ital iT][sub 11], [ital T][sub 20], [ital T][sub 21], [ital T][sub 22] are also discussed together with the Doleschall-type Coulomb correction.
