Many-Particle Interactions For an N particles system, in equilibrium Newton’s 1st law F3 3 Summation of the above equation gives f32 f23 f31 2 F2 Newton’s 3rd law f13 f21 F1 f12 1 Therefore:
Free-Body-Diagram Isolate the body in question with the representation of all external forces acting on it.
Remove Spike from Timber It is desired to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along its horizontal axis. An obstruction A prevents direct access, so that two forces, one is 1.6kN and the other P, are applied by cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of P necessary to ensure axial tension T along the spike. Also find T.
