  • Free-Body Diagram, Tension and Reaction Forces

    Provides steps necessary to calculate tension and reaction forces. Provides a free-body diagram as well.

  • Reaction Force of Uniform Ladder

    W1 and W2 Equating the horizontal forces Frictional force F=Reaction at wall (R) Equating vertical forces Weight of man (W1) + Weight of ladder (R2)=Reaction at ground (R1) Reaction at ground (R1)=W1+W2=75+12=87 Kg= 87 x 9.81=853.47 N This solution

  • Mechanics: Force and Acceleration

    The force F = 10 N is unable to lift the body hence the surface will apply a force of 49 - 10 = 39 N as normal reaction and the resultant of all vertical forces is zero.

  • Newton's Laws of Motion - Friction

    a) Draw a free-body diagram of the system showing all forces in the vertical and horizontal direction.

  • Laws of motion: Force, friction, Pulleys.

    Now as in the diagram the forces acting on the clown in the vertical direction are the weight of the clown mg (downwards), the tension T (upward) as the reaction of, and equal to the pulling force on the rope and the normal reaction of the ground N (upward

  • magnitude of forces

    Equating the net horizontal and net vertical forces to zero, we get: 441 + 1176 - NAsinθ = 0 Or NAsinθ = 1617 ........(1) NB + NAcosθ = 0 Or NAcosθ = - NB ..........(2) Dividing (1) by (2) we get: tanθ = - 1617

  • Mechanics: Statics

    Net vertical force on the rod must be zero. 3. Moment of the forces about any point must be zero.

  • Method of Joints Magnitudes

    There is just a vertical reaction R at the support, because it is free to move in the horizontal direction. As there are no external horizontal forces in the system, we can safely conclude that the internal force in the horizontal member BD is 0.
