I intend to talk about forces and force diagrams, but there is a more fundamental question to address first. What is a force? Most texts define it as a push or a pull. That really isn't a bad ...

Force diagrams and resultant forces. Part of Physics Forces and movement. ... In this diagram there are two forces, which, when added together give a resultant force of 30 newtons (N).

This video is an introduction to shear force and bending moment diagrams. What are Shear Forces and Bending Moments? Shear forces and bending moments are resultants which are used to conveniently ...

Here is a force diagram for two people in a tug of war. Each puller (person pulling on the rope) has essentially four forces acting on them. There is the downward weight which is balanced by the ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...
