    When all the forces act on a single object, a free body diagram (FBD) graphically represents these forces. It helps in analyzing the net effect of the forces by isolating the object from its environment. An arrow pointing in the direction of a force represents a force and its magnitude is also labeled. FBDs allow systematic application of Newton's laws and hence are crucial in solving mechanics problems. For example on an inclined plane, in a block, the FBD helps identify normal, gravitational, and frictional forces acting on the block.

For 2 kg block

T – 2g sin37 = 2a        . (i)

For 4 kg block

4g – 2T =  4 a 2

2g – T = a                    . (ii)

T = (2g – a)

2g – a – 2g ×  3 5  = 2a

3a = 2g ×  2 5

 F1    = mg sinq + fK

= 25 + 2.5 3  

F2    = mg sinq – fK

= 25 – 2.5 

F1 – F2 = 5 3  N
