Answer:

A force is a VECTOR quantity.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that all quantities which requires direction and magnitude both for complete representation then it is known as vector quantities.

As we know that force requires magnitude as well as direction both because we can not represent the force without its direction or we can not represent the force without magnitude.

As we know that as the magnitude of the force is known but if the direction is not known then in that case the effect of force can not be derived.'

So here we can say that

A force is a VECTOR quantity.
