Topic 2 - 2 Free Body Diagram Worksheet

The document provides examples of free body diagrams and asks students to analyze forces acting on objects in different situations. Students are asked to determine if forces are balanced or unbalanced, calculate net forces by vector addition, and draw free body diagrams to represent different physical situations involving forces like gravity, friction, applied forces, and tension. The goal is to help students understand and apply the concept of free body diagrams to analyze the net forces acting on objects.

Equilibrium Attained Net Force = 0 Newtons

Draw a free body diagram with a 10 N force and a 25 Newton force acting on an object in the opposite
directions. Describe the additional force needed to be applied to achieve equilibrium
1. Free-body diagrams for four situations are shown below. For each situation, determine the net force
acting upon the object and the direction of the force vector.

2. Free-body diagrams for four situations are shown below. The net force is known for each situation.
However, the magnitudes of a few of the individual forces are not known. Analyze each situation
individually and determine the magnitude of the unknown forces. Write the unknown force next to each
letter.
