TYPES OF FORCE by Sukesh Kamath

Normal Force

The normal force acts between any two surfaces in contact, balancing what ever force is pushing the objects together

Tension

Another force that often opposes gravity is known as tension. This force is provided by wires and strings when they hold objects above the earth.

Fricition

Friction is a force that resists the motion of an object that is in contact with another object or material. It is often called the resistive force of friction.

Drag

When there is fluid flow past a solid object, the resulting air resistance or water resistance causes a drag force.

Upthrust

sukeshkamath — 2016-01-28 05:34:05 UTC

Liquid pressure is exerted on the surface of an object in a liquid. This pressure causes upthrust. An object placed in a liquid will begin to sink. As it sinks, the liquid pressure on it increases and so the upthrust increases. For a floating object, the upthrust is equal and opposite to the object’s weight. An object will continue to sink if its weight is greater than the maximum upthrust

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity of an object is defined as the point where all the weight of the object may be considered to act.
