rigid - Answers A body is considered _____ when the change in distance between any two of its points is
negligible for the purpose at hand.
force - Answers changes the state of motion of a body
force - Answers is the action of one body on another. A _____ tends to move a body in the direction of
its action. The action of a________ is characterized by its magnitude, by the direction of its action, and
by its point of application. Thus it is a vector quantity.
characteristics of a force - Answers magnitude, position of its line of action and direction
principle of transmissilibiy - Answers the external effect of a force of a body is the same for all points of
application along its line of action
