How to Draw Particle Diagrams

Learning Objectives

By the finish of the section, you will be able to:

  • Explain the rules for drawing a complimentary-body diagram
  • Construct complimentary-body diagrams for different situations

The first pace in describing and analyzing most phenomena in physics involves the conscientious drawing of a free-body diagram. Complimentary-trunk diagrams have been used in examples throughout this chapter. Remember that a free-body diagram must only include the external forces acting on the torso of interest. Once we accept drawn an accurate free-body diagram, we can apply Newton's first police if the body is in equilibrium (counterbalanced forces; that is, [latex] {F}_{\text{net}}=0 [/latex]) or Newton's second law if the body is accelerating (unbalanced force; that is, [latex] {F}_{\text{cyberspace}}\ne 0 [/latex]).

In Forces, we gave a brief problem-solving strategy to help y'all understand free-body diagrams. Here, we add some details to the strategy that will help you in constructing these diagrams.

Problem-Solving Strategy: Constructing Free-Trunk Diagrams

Observe the following rules when amalgam a gratis-torso diagram:

  1. Depict the object under consideration; it does not have to be artistic. At first, you may want to draw a circle around the object of interest to be sure you focus on labeling the forces acting on the object. If you are treating the object equally a particle (no size or shape and no rotation), represent the object every bit a point. We oftentimes place this bespeak at the origin of an xy-coordinate system.
  2. Include all forces that deed on the object, representing these forces as vectors. Consider the types of forces described in Common Forces—normal force, friction, tension, and spring strength—likewise as weight and applied force. Do not include the net force on the object. With the exception of gravity, all of the forces we accept discussed require straight contact with the object. However, forces that the object exerts on its environment must non exist included. We never include both forces of an activeness-reaction pair.
  3. Convert the complimentary-torso diagram into a more detailed diagram showing the x– and y-components of a given strength (this is oftentimes helpful when solving a problem using Newton'south first or second law). In this case, place a squiggly line through the original vector to show that it is no longer in play—information technology has been replaced past its 10– and y-components.
  4. If at that place are two or more than objects, or bodies, in the trouble, depict a separate complimentary-body diagram for each object.

Note: If at that place is acceleration, we do not direct include it in the gratuitous-trunk diagram; nonetheless, it may assist to bespeak acceleration outside the gratis-body diagram. Y'all can characterization it in a unlike colour to signal that it is separate from the free-body diagram.

Let's use the problem-solving strategy in drawing a free-body diagram for a sled. In (Figure)(a), a sled is pulled by forcefulness P at an angle of [latex] 30\text{°} [/latex]. In part (b), we show a free-body diagram for this situation, as described by steps 1 and ii of the problem-solving strategy. In part (c), we show all forces in terms of their x– and y-components, in keeping with step three.

Figure a shows a sled of 15 kg. An arrow labeled P pointing right and up forms an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. Figure b is a free body diagram with P, N pointing up and w pointing down. Figure c is a free body diagram with P, N, w and two components of P: Px pointing right and Py pointing up.

Figure v.31 (a) A moving sled is shown as (b) a complimentary-body diagram and (c) a free-body diagram with force components.

Example

Two Blocks on an Inclined Plane

Construct the complimentary-body diagram for object A and object B in (Effigy).

Strategy

We follow the four steps listed in the problem-solving strategy.

Solution

We start by creating a diagram for the first object of interest. In (Figure)(a), object A is isolated (circled) and represented by a dot.

Figure a shows two objects on an inclined plane, sloping down to the left. Object A is on top of object B. A free body diagram shows T pointing right and up, parallel to the plane, N subscript BA pointing left and up, perpendicular to the plane, f subscript BA pointing left and down, parallel to the plane and w subscript A pointing vertically down. W subscript A is weight of block A, T is tension, N subscript BA is normal force exerted by B on A, f subscript BA is friction force exerted by B on A. Figure b shows the objects on the slope in the same manner. A free body diagram has f subscript B and f subscript AB pointing right and up, parallel to the slope, N subscript B pointing left and up perpendicular to the slope, w subscript B pointing vertically down and N subscript AB pointing down and right, perpendicular to the slope. W subscript B is weight of block B, N subscript AB is normal force exerted by A on B, N subscript B is normal force exerted by the incline plane on B. f subscript AB is friction force exerted by A on B. f subscript B is friction force exerted by the incline plane on B.

Figure 5.32 (a) The free-torso diagram for isolated object A. (b) The gratuitous-trunk diagram for isolated object B. Comparison the ii drawings, we see that friction acts in the reverse direction in the two figures. Because object A experiences a strength that tends to pull information technology to the right, friction must act to the left. Because object B experiences a component of its weight that pulls it to the left, downwardly the incline, the friction force must oppose it and deed up the ramp. Friction e'er acts opposite the intended direction of motion.

We now include any forcefulness that acts on the body. Here, no applied strength is nowadays. The weight of the object acts as a strength pointing vertically downwards, and the presence of the cord indicates a strength of tension pointing away from the object. Object A has one interface and hence experiences a normal force, directed away from the interface. The source of this force is object B, and this normal force is labeled appropriately. Since object B has a tendency to slide downward, object A has a trend to slide upwards with respect to the interface, so the friction [latex] {f}_{\text{BA}} [/latex] is directed downward parallel to the inclined airplane.

As noted in step 4 of the problem-solving strategy, we and then construct the gratuitous-body diagram in (Figure)(b) using the same approach. Object B experiences two normal forces and two friction forces due to the presence of 2 contact surfaces. The interface with the inclined plane exerts external forces of [latex] {N}_{\text{B}} [/latex] and [latex] {f}_{\text{B}} [/latex], and the interface with object B exerts the normal force [latex] {North}_{\text{AB}} [/latex] and friction [latex] {f}_{\text{AB}} [/latex]; [latex] {Due north}_{\text{AB}} [/latex] is directed abroad from object B, and [latex] {f}_{\text{AB}} [/latex] is opposing the tendency of the relative motion of object B with respect to object A.

Significance

The object under consideration in each function of this trouble was circled in grayness. When yous are first learning how to describe free-body diagrams, y'all will find it helpful to circle the object before deciding what forces are acting on that item object. This focuses your attention, preventing yous from considering forces that are non acting on the body.

Case

Two Blocks in Contact

A force is applied to two blocks in contact, as shown.

Strategy

Draw a free-trunk diagram for each block. Be sure to consider Newton's 3rd police at the interface where the two blocks touch.

Two squares are shown in contact with each other. The left one is smaller and is labeled m1. The right one is bigger and is labeled m2. An arrow pointing right towards m1 is labeled F.

Solution

Figure shows two free body diagrams. The first one shows arrow A subscript 21 pointing left and arrow F pointing right. The second one shows arrow A 12 pointing right. Both diagrams also have arrows pointing up and down.

Significance[latex] {\overset{\to }{A}}_{21} [/latex] is the activeness force of cake 2 on block one. [latex] {\overset{\to }{A}}_{12} [/latex] is the reaction force of cake 1 on cake 2. We employ these free-trunk diagrams in Applications of Newton'southward Laws.

Example

Block on the Table (Coupled Blocks)

A block rests on the table, as shown. A light rope is attached to information technology and runs over a pulley. The other terminate of the rope is attached to a second cake. The two blocks are said to be coupled. Block [latex] {m}_{2} [/latex] exerts a forcefulness due to its weight, which causes the system (2 blocks and a string) to accelerate.

Strategy

We assume that the string has no mass so that nosotros do not have to consider information technology as a separate object. Describe a gratuitous-body diagram for each block.

Figure shows block m1 placed on a table. A string attached to it runs over a pulley and down the right side of the table. A block m2 is suspended from it. An arrow a1 points right and an arrow a2 points down.

Solution

Figure a shows block m1. An arrow labeled m1g point upwards from it, an arrow N points downwards and an arrow T points right. Figure b shows block m2. An arrow T points upwards from it and an arrow m2g points downwards.

Significance

Each cake accelerates (observe the labels shown for [latex] {\overset{\to }{a}}_{1} [/latex] and [latex] {\overset{\to }{a}}_{2} [/latex]); however, bold the string remains taut, they advance at the same rate. Thus, we have [latex] {\overset{\to }{a}}_{ane}={\overset{\to }{a}}_{two} [/latex]. If we were to go along solving the problem, we could but call the acceleration [latex] \overset{\to }{a} [/latex]. Also, we use two free-body diagrams because we are ordinarily finding tension T, which may require usa to use a system of 2 equations in this type of problem. The tension is the same on both [latex] {grand}_{1}\,\text{and}\,{chiliad}_{ii} [/latex].

Check Your Understanding

Pointer N1 points left and up, perpendicular to the slope. Pointer w1 points vertically downwards. Pointer w1x points left and downwards, parallel to the gradient. Pointer w1y points correct and down, perpendicular to the gradient. Figure b shows a gratuitous body diagram of an object on a line that slopes down to the left. Arrow N2 from the object points correct and upwardly, perpendicular to the slope. Arrow T points left and upwardly, parallel to the slope. Arrow w2 points vertically down. Arrow w2y points left and down, perpendicular to the slope. Arrow w2x points correct and down, parallel to the gradient.

View this simulation to predict, qualitatively, how an external force volition affect the speed and direction of an object'south motility. Explain the effects with the assist of a free-body diagram. Employ free-body diagrams to depict position, velocity, acceleration, and forcefulness graphs, and vice versa. Explain how the graphs relate to one some other. Given a scenario or a graph, sketch all four graphs.

Summary

  • To draw a free-body diagram, we draw the object of involvement, describe all forces acting on that object, and resolve all force vectors into ten– and y-components. We must draw a separate free-body diagram for each object in the problem.
  • A free-body diagram is a useful means of describing and analyzing all the forces that deed on a trunk to determine equilibrium according to Newton's first law or acceleration according to Newton's second police.

Permit [latex] {T}_{1} [/latex] be the tension in the leftmost section of the string, [latex] {T}_{two} [/latex] be the tension in the section adjacent to it, and [latex] {T}_{3} [/latex] be the tension in the horizontal segment. (a) Find an equation for the tension in each section of the string in terms of the variables m, g, and [latex] \theta [/latex]. (b) Find the angle [latex] \varphi [/latex] in terms of the angle [latex] \theta [/latex]. (c) If [latex] \theta =5.10\text{°} [/latex], what is the value of [latex] \varphi [/latex]? (d) Observe the distance ten betwixt the endpoints in terms of d and [latex] \theta [/latex].

Figure shows four shapes hanging on a string that is attached to the ceiling at both ends. The shapes divide the string in five equal segments, each having length d. The middle segment is horizontal. The distance between the two ends of the string is x. The angles between the ceiling and the segments closest to the ceiling are both labeled theta. The angles formed by the first segments from the ceiling with their adjoining segments are both labeled phi.
