Force Tory out, not getting any younger (5)

Ross

forty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not getting any younger' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'force tory out' is the wordplay.
'force' becomes 'f' (abbreviation in physics e.g. f=ma).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'tory' with letters rearranged gives 'orty'.
'f'+'orty'='FORTY'
