MediumWhat is a Free Body Diagram $(FBD)$?
(N/A) Free Body Diagram $(FBD)$ is a diagrammatic representation used in physics to analyze the forces acting on a body.
$1$. It isolates a single object (the body) from its surroundings.
$2$. All external forces acting on the object are represented as vectors originating from the center of mass of the object.
$3$. These forces typically include gravity (weight),normal force,tension,friction,and applied forces.
$4$. The $FBD$ helps in applying Newton's Second Law of Motion,$\sum \vec{F} = m\vec{a}$,to solve for unknown forces or acceleration.
