Draw a free body diagram when the phone is oriented vertically. IMPORTANT: where the arrows’ tail starts now matters! There are two forces acting on the phone in the vertical orientation and the forces are applied in two different places: The arrow representing the force of gravity should start where the center of mass of the phone is. The arrow representing the force of your hand pinching the phone should start where your thumb is.
