The principle of transmissibility of forces states that, when a force acts upon a body, its effect is
same at every point on its line of action
different at different points on its line of action
minimum, if it acts at the centre of gravity of the body
maximum, if it acts at the centre of gravity of the body
Answer: Option

If a force acts at any point on a rigid body, it may also be considered to act at any other point on its line of action, provided this point is rigidly connected with the body.

Principle of transmissibility: It states that the condition of equilibrium of a body or of motion of rigid body will remain unchanged if the point of application of force acting at a point is transmitted to act at any other point along its line of action. From the above equation the correct answer is Option (A).

As per definition answer should (A).

As per principle of transmissible of force "when a force acts upon a rigid body its effect is same at every point on its line of action".

So answer A.

The correct answer should be, same at every point on its line of action.

The principle of transmissibility of forces states that, the effect of an external force on a rigid body remains unchanged if that force is moved along its line of action.

Warning: This principle is not valid for deformable bodies. C is correct answer.

They didn't state if the body is rigid or not. Personally I would go for A because in undergraduate, static mechanics we mostly, if not only, deal with rigid bodies.

The answer must be option A. Same at every point on its line of action.

I also agree with option (A).
