How can I make my Player jump when I press a UI button?

Hey guys!

I'm having a bit of a issue on one of my projects. So I'm trying to make my character jump when I press a UI button, but I haven't been able to make it work thus far. I tried adding a Rigidbody to my Player and just doing:

 public Rigidbody rb;
 public void onJumpButton()
 {
 rb.AddForce(Vector3.up* jumpForce);
 }

and this is on my buttons On Click () function but that didn't work. I already have jumping figured out on the pc and for pc my code is:

    if (controller.isGrounded)
     {
         
         verticalVelocity = -gravity * Time.deltaTime;
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
         {

             verticalVelocity = jumpForce;
             animator.SetBool("is_in_air", true);
             jump.Play();


         }

     }
     else
     {
         animator.SetBool("is_in_air", false);
         verticalVelocity -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
     }

and this works fine when i press space on PC but I need to incorporate this into a UI button for Cellphone use. If anyone has any tips on how I can do this that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time!
