Frictional Force (Ff)

A contact force that opposes the relative motion (or attempted motion) between two solid surfaces, fluid layers, or material elements in contact.

Tension Force (FT)

A pulling contact force transmitted axialy through a flexible medium - such as a rope, string, cable, chain, or rod - when pulled tight from opposite ends.

Normal Force (FN)

The support contact force exerted by a surface upon an object in contact with it, acting perpendicular (at a 90 - degree angle) to the surface interface.

Spring Force (Fspring)

The restoring force exerted by a spring or elastic object when it is stretched or compressed away from its natural equilibrium position.

Compression Force (Fc)

A push or squeeze that acts inward on an object, reducing its length, volume, or size.

New cards

Shear Force (Fshear)

A force that acts parallel (tangential) to the surface or cross-section plane of a material, rather than perpendicular to it.
