Force diagrams
Force diagrams are visual tools used in physics and engineering to show all the forces acting on an object. They represent forces as arrows, where the length indicates the strength, and the direction shows the force's direction. These diagrams help analyze how objects will move or stay still by illustrating the balance or imbalance of forces, such as gravity, friction, or tension. By clearly visualizing these forces, it becomes easier to understand and predict an object's behavior in different situations.
