A free body diagram consists of a diagrammatic representation of a single body or a subsystem of bodies isolated from its surroundings showing all the forces acting on it.
In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (force diagram, or FBD) is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a body in a given condition. They depict a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies). The body may consist of multiple internal members (such as a truss), or be a compact body (such as a beam). A series of free bodies and other diagrams may be necessary to solve complex problems.
Can someone please help with this problem. I'm lost!
1. A 150 kg bear walks out onto a beam as illustrated in Fig P8.20 trying to get to a picnic
basket with mass 10kg. The beam is 6m long and has mass 40kg (you can consider its
weight to be concentrated at a point 3m from the wall.

hello. I need help drawing free body diagram for four links on a chain. The picture looks like this:
| <-thats a rope
8 <-these are links; they should all be connected

heres a good picture of a chain:

the first link is connected...
I have a question in my textbook that I can't answer for the life of me.
"A 6500-kg helicopter accelerates upward at .6 m/s^2 while lifting a 1200-kg car. (a) what is the lift force exerted by the air on the rotors?"
Now, my diagram has a vector pointing up with a force of (6500*9.8)N...
A block is held in place on a frictionless incline by a massless string. The string is horizontal. I have to sketch a free body diagram for the block showing all the forces exerted on the block.
IM in Phys.20 Got this question for an assignment. Tried it and got stuck. I really need help
--------
When golfing, uphill and downhill putts present different levels of difficulty. Suppose a green has a 5.0 degree slope and the force of friction will be 0.10N...
Howdy,
I had Physics two years ago in High School and am now in Engineering Physics. I am trying to have a head start on everything and it is also a project, can anyone check my FDB for correctness?
Thanks,
Matt
