Question

Force usually has the symbol F. It is a vector. What is the correct way to write the symbol to show that it is a vector?

A. F (with the line under)
B. F (with the line on top)
C. F
D. F (with a plus on the top right)

Answer 1

(B) F with a line on top

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no one single 'correct' way to denote a vector. Most typical is a line over the symbol:
`\overline{F}`, or an arrow over the symbol:
`\vec F`. (However, if you want to use your own vector notation, for example, by printing the symbol in bold, then that is fine, too, as long as you clearly define this upfront),
