  2. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

    A common visual representation of forces acting in concert is the free body diagram, which schematically portrays a body of interest and the forces applied to it by outside influences. [22] For example, a free body diagram of a block sitting upon an inclined plane can illustrate the combination of gravitational force, "normal" force , friction ...

  5. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    Free body diagrams of a block on a flat surface and an inclined plane. Forces are resolved and added together to determine their magnitudes and the net force. Free-body diagrams can be used as a convenient way to keep track of forces acting on a system.

  6. Mechanical equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_equilibrium

    An object resting on a surface and the corresponding free body diagram showing the forces acting on the object. The normal force N is equal, opposite, and collinear to the gravitational force mg so the net force and moment is zero. Consequently, the object is in a state of static mechanical equilibrium.

  7. Resultant force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resultant_force

    In physics and engineering, a resultant force is the single force and associated torque obtained by combining a system of forces and torques acting on a rigid body via vector addition. The defining feature of a resultant force, or resultant force-torque, is that it has the same effect on the rigid body as the original system of forces. [1]

  8. Net force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_force

    A free body diagram of a block resting on a rough inclined plane, with its weight (W), normal reaction (N) and friction (F) shown. In mechanics, the net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. For example, if two forces are acting upon an object in opposite directions, and one force is greater than the other, the forces can be ...

  9. Euler's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_laws_of_motion

    r cm is the position vector of the center of mass of the body with respect to the point about which moments are summed, a cm is the linear acceleration of the center of mass of the body, m is the mass of the body, α is the angular acceleration of the body, and; I is the moment of inertia of the body about its center of mass.
