Basic components associated with force
​
Push or a pull is known as force. Standard international unit of measuring force is Newtons(N). basically we use force to do some things. They are,
Object at rest can be moved.
Object at motion can be stopped.
The speed of the motion can be change.
The direction of motion can be changed.
shape of an object can be changed.
​​
Force has an magnitude and direction. There for it is a vector quantity. To measure the magnitude of the force spring balance or the newton balance is used.
​
Relationship between kg and newtons
​
1kg = 10N
5kg = 50N
​
Point of application of force
​
The point of an object on which the force is exerted is known as the point of application of force.
To observe where point of application of force through an image click the button image below.

Graphical representation of force
​
We can represent the magnitude and the direction of the force by using straight segments. And also the magnitude of the force is represented by the length of the straight line segment. The direction is represented by an arrow head. The point of application is denoted by a dot. To be correct with confidence watch the above video.
