Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Applications of Forces in Two Dimensions
You’ve dealt with equilibrium before, so now let’s take a look at equilibrium situations involving forces which are directed at an angle so that you can apply vector components. Then, you’ll take a look at several non-equilibrium situations involving angled forces which will lead to an accelerating object. Again, you will see how vector components are useful in analyzing these situations. Click the player to begin.
