force diagrAMS
Force diagrams are used to represent a visual image of what forces are being acted upon an object moving, and from what direction that those forces are acting on that object. They are going to show the forces magnitude and direction. The easiest way to make one is using a circle as the symbol for your object at the center of the diagram, and using directional arrows to represent the forces. The key to a successful diagram is making sure your forces directions are pointing in the right direction to have a better understanding.
If you were going to make a force diagram of a ball after being thrown by the pitcher, you would draw a circle or dot to represent the ball, and an arrow above it with a downward to direction to show that gravity is moving down on it to pull it down. To the right of the dot, you would draw another in the direction of left to show that the force of air resistance is acting upon it causing that ball to slow down.
Q.) What forces would be acting drawn on a man using a rope to climb a wall?
The pull of the rope, moving upward, the force of gravity, moving it downward, and the push and friction of the wall on the man coming from the left of his body.
Q.) Which force is nearly almost ALWAYS on a force diagram?
The force of gravity.
