Newton's Laws | Equilibrium | Free Body Diagrams

LECTURE 02a
Here, Newton's laws are described and explained. The concept of equilibrium is presented for systems in which zero acceleration is observed. Free Body Diagrams (FBDs) are presented as the best method of ensuring that all external forces applied to a body are accounted for. Steps for constructing Free Body Diagrams are laid out and an example problem is demonstrated. The solution of the resulting linear 2 equation, 2 unknown system is solved using the Casio fx-115es plus calculator's linear 2x2 solver.
