In summary, playground equipment design is based on the principles of physics, particularly those related to force, motion, and energy. Engineers and designers use these principles to create safe and fun equipment for children to play on. The design of equipment such as slides, swings, and merry-go-rounds takes into account concepts like gravity, friction, and momentum, as well as the materials and construction methods used. Properly understanding and utilizing these physics principles is crucial for ensuring the safety and enjoyment of children on playground equipment.

Hello, i am a product developer working for a company that develops and manufacturs components for playground equipment. I have a basic knowledge of physics but for some projects my knowledge is insufficient, and since Google is not helping me, i tried joining this forum in search for some answers.
