The correct information that must be shown for every force in a force diagram in order to determine if the forces are balanced is the magnitude of the force in Newtons and the direction. The net force, which is the vector sum of all the individual forces, is calculated by taking into account the magnitude and direction of each force.
so which one is the right answer
The correct answer is:

- the magnitude of the force in Newtons and the direction.
