Explain how to draw free-body diagrams

What will be an ideal response?


Choose one object, and draw an arrow to represent each force acting on it. Include every force acting on that object. Do not show forces that the chosen object exerts on other objects. To help identify each and every force that is exerted on the chosen object, ask what other objects could exert a force on it. If the problem involves more than one object, a separate free-body diagram is needed for each object.
