“A container is resting on the ground. Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces acting on the container. Label each force with its appropriate symbol (Fₙ, F₉, etc.) and use the length of the arrows to show the relative size of the forces. A box is being pushed to the right across a floor at a constant speed. Draw a free body diagram of the box. Be sure to include all forces acting on the box and label them. Use the length of the arrows to show the relative size of the forces.”
