BRAINCAKEFree-Body Force Diagrams
A free-body force diagram is a representation of an object showing the forces acting on the object.
All connecting objects have been removed and the free-body is shown in isolation.
Free-body force diagrams help you find the resultant force on an object, so that you can then apply Newton's laws.
