The magnitude of a force is the numerical value that represents the size or amount of the force. It can be measured in units such as Newtons (N) or pounds-force (lbf).
The direction of a force refers to the line along which the force acts. It can be described using words (e.g., upward, downward, left, right) or using mathematical representations (e.g., vectors).
In summary, the size or amount of a force is its magnitude, while the line along which the force acts is its direction.
) Forces have magnitude and direction. Response area is (37) the size or amount of force.
