Free Body Diagrams

We can draw free body diagrams to illustrate all the forces acting on an object. A free body diagram will have arrows to represent the different forces exerted on an object.

As previously mentioned, force is a vector. This means that each force on a free body diagram has both magnitude and direction:

  • The size of the arrow shows the magnitude of the force.
  • The direction of the arrow will show the direction of the force.
