Chapter 4.2, Problem 1bT

Draw a free-body diagram for the ruler (after it is released from rest). Draw your vectors on the diagram at right. Draw each force at the point at which it is exerted.

Label each force by identifying:

  • the type of force.
  • the object on which the force is exerted, and
  • the object exerting the force.

The diagram you have drawn is called an external free-body diagram.
