In this module, the forces (elements Force, Friction or Contact) are added to the objects (elements Block, Pulley or Spring) placing the force in one of the cells around the object. Each object (if there isn’t in the chalkboard’s border) have 8 cells around it. This module have 44 elements, presented below. With a description of each one, its data and its number of equations. Note that some elements have one or two equations, depending of the applied forces, or of the objects that interact with it.
