identify the true statements about the definition of force. more than one answer may be correct.
force is defined by the rectangular components f_x, f_y, and f_z.
force is defined by a point on its line of action.
force is defined by its magnitude and direction.
force is defined by its distance.

Explanation:

Force is a vector quantity. A vector is defined by its magnitude and direction. Also, in a three - dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, a force can be represented by its rectangular components $F_x$, $F_y$, and $F_z$. And the line of action of a force is important in determining its effect, and a point on this line helps in its specification. Distance is not a defining characteristic of force.

Answer:

Force is defined by the rectangular components $F_x$, $F_y$, and $F_z$.
Force is defined by a point on its line of action.
Force is defined by its magnitude and direction.
