What is the the effect of a force upon a body according to the principle of transmissibility of forces?
A)
Minimum when acting at the body’s centre of gravity
B)
Maximum when acting at the body’s centre of gravity
C)
Different at various locations along its line of action
D)
The same at all points along its line of action

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   The same at all points along its line of action


Explanation : The point of application of a force can be conveyed along its line of action without modifying the force’s impact on the rigid body to which it is applied, according to the theorem of transmissibility of a force. Every point along its path of action is the same.
