Drawing One-Body Force Diagrams


- for Fun and Profit -

and for Physnet Units m10, m16

    Advice and Sample for Practice

    for m10:

  1. Ball hanging from a string: static, 1D, 1 contact force
  2. Stationary person on level surface: static, 1D, 1 contact force
  3. Accelerating person on level surface: dynamic, 2D, 1 contact force
  4. Stationary block on inclined surface: static, 2D, 1 contact force
  5. Stationary person on inclined surface: static, 2D, 1 contact force
  6. Accelerating person on inclined surface: static, 2D, 1 contact force
  7. Stationary person on inclined surface holding rope: static, 2D, pulley
  8. Stationary person on inclined surface holding rope: static, 2D, 2 contact forces

    for m16:

  1. Stationary block on inclined surface: static, 2D, 1 contact force, normal, friction
  2. Accelerating person on level surface: static, 2D, 1 contact force, normal, friction
