Question

Every point on the force vector is having the same magnitude and the same direction as the whole force vector have.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked during an interview for a job.

My question is from Addition of a System of Coplanar Forces in portion Force Vectors of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) False

To explain: The vector is made by joining the final and the starting point. If we consider any arbitrary point then the length would be calculated w.r.t the starting point, which might give different magnitude but same direction.
