i) A pair of equal and opposite parallel forces acting at two different points of a body.
iii)A physical quantity which changes or tends to change the state of rest or motion of a body.
v)A force is applied on a body and the body gets displaced in the direction of force applied.
ii) Keeping the force same ,if the area is doubled ,what will happen to the force?
