    A force F is defined by its magnitude and direction, with its direction specified by two points M(x1,y1,z1) and N(x2,y2,z2) on its line of action. The vector MN joins points M and N and has the same direction as F. The scalar components of F are equal to its magnitude multiplied by the unit vector λ in the direction of MN.
