Chapter 3: Forces


"In Chapter 2 we represented forces by vectors and used vector addition to sum forces. In this chapter we discuss forces in more detail and introduce two of the most important concepts in mechanics, equilibrium and the free-body diagram. We will use free-body diagrams to identify the forces on objects and use equilibrium to determine unknown forces."
