Draw a force diagram for the specified object in each of the following situations. On the physical diagram, draw a
dotted line around the object or objects included in your system. Draw each of the forces acting on the object, making
the length of each vector represent the magnitude of the force. Each force should be labeled using the system
discussed in class. Specifically each force should be labeled with a capital F, followed by a subscript which
describes the type of force, followed by two subscripts which describes the feeler of the force and the
dealer of the force. Define your subscripts by indicating what letter you are using to represent the feeler and each
of the dealers. Use a ruler! Draw forces in pencil. Specify your sign conventions for the vertical and horizontal
directions in the appropriate blanks. Write the net force equations which indicate the net force on your system in both
the horizontal and vertical dimensions. In the blank to the right of the physical diagram, represent the object as a
particle by drawing a dot in the middle of the blank.
