1.1 Introduction
Ax B = (a y b z − a z b y)i + (a z b x − a x b z) j + (a x b y − a y b x)k
1.4 Newton’s Law
F = ma
1.5 Free body diagram
• The diagram of an isolated body with the representation of all
external forces acting on it is called free body diagram.
• The isolation of a body is a tool by which cause and effect are clearly
separated, and by which our attention is clearly focused on the literal
application of a principle of mechanics.
