## Abstract

In this paper, the scheme of a force sensor is proposed which has been composed of a hybrid optomechanical cavity containing an interacting cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) where the \textit{s}-wave scattering frequency of the BEC atoms as well as the spring coefficient of the cavity moving end-mirror (the mechanical oscillator) are parametrically modulated. It is shown that in the red-detuned regime and under the so-called impedance-matching condition, the mechanical response of the system to the input signal is enhanced substantially, which leads to the amplification of the weak input signal while the added noises of measurement (backaction noises) can be suppressed and lowered much below the standard quantum limit (SQL). In this way, such a hybrid system operates as an ultra-sensitive force sensor which can amplify the input signal and simultaneously suppress the added noises by controlling the amplitudes of modulation and the system cooperativities. The advantage of the presented nonlinear hybrid system accompanied with the mechanical and atomic modulations in comparison to the bare optomechanical cavities is the enhancement of signal amplification as well as the extension of amplification bandwidth.
