I have no idea what mass or path you are talking about. What is meant by Iforce of mass"?
Are you talking about motion in a circular path at constant speed? In that case, the mass experiences a centripetal force towards the center of the circle. If it is on a string, the string provides the centripetal force. There is also a downward gravity force. The string also balances the weight force.
In what direction does the force of mass point?
I say - Always away towards the center of the circular path
In what direction does the velocity of mass point?
I say - Always away from the center of the circular path
In what direction does the acceleration of mass point?
I say - Always away from the center of the circular path
