List of formulas related to Forces


Attractive Forces

m1,m2: mass of two objects; r: distance between two objects; G: gravitational constant

$$ F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} $$ $$ G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^2 / kg^2 $$

Attractive Forces


Gravitational Force

M: Earth mass, m: mass of object, R: Earth radius, h: object’s height

$$ F = G \frac{Mm}{(R + h)^2} $$ $$ M \approx 6.67 \times 10^{24} kg $$ $$ R \approx 6371 \times 10^{6} m $$

Gravitational Acceleration

At a height h above the normal surface of the earth

$$ g = \frac{Mm}{(R + h)^2} $$ $$ \text{Near the sea level} $$ $$ h << R => g_0 = \frac{GM}{R^2} $$

Force Of Gravity

Force of gravity on earth, a special case of Gravitational force

$$ P = G \frac{Mm}{(R + h)^2} = mg $$

Newton's First Law

F: forces acting on the object , v: velocity of the object, a: acceleration of the object

$$ \Sigma F = 0 => \frac{dv}{(dt)} = 0 $$ $$ a = 0 $$

Newton's Second Law

m: object’s mass(kg)

$$ \xrightarrow[\text{F}]{} = \frac{d _{\overrightarrow{p}}}{d_t} = \frac{dm _{ \overrightarrow{v}}}{d_t} = m \frac{d _{ \overrightarrow{v}}}{d_t} $$ $$ \xrightarrow[F]{} = m _{\overrightarrow{a}} $$ $$ {\xrightarrow[a]{}}= \frac{\overrightarrow{F}}{m} $$

Newton's Third Law

$$ \xrightarrow[F]{} _{BA} = \xrightarrow[F]{} _{AB} $$

Linear Elasticity-Hooke's Law

K: spring constant (n/m), x: displacement(m)

$$ F = -kx $$

A Mass suspended by a spring

$$ F = P => k = \frac{mg}{x} $$

A Mass suspended by a spring


Force of friction

µ: coefficient of friction, N: normal force

            Fms = µN
                = µPcosα
                = µmgcosα
