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

Answer 1

Suppose that we want to describe a force that acts on the x-axis, and that has a magnitude "F", we would write this as:

F(x) = F*(1, 0, 0)

So, a force is a vector.

And remember that a vector is graphed with an arrow, then the correct notation to write a vector is just a given symbol with an arrow on top of it.

In the image below you can see the correct notation:
