This tag is for the classical concept of forces, i.e. the quantities causing an acceleration of a body. It expands to the strong/electroweak force only insofar as they act comparable to ‘classical’ forces. Use the [particle-physics] tag for decay channels due to forces and [newtonian-mechanics] or one of the other subtopics of [classical-mechanics] for the dynamics of classical systems.

Instantaneous power delivered in a string

When the supports of a string are moving, why is the instantaneous power delivered by the string $0$? So we say that at all moving contacts of the string, $$\sum \vec{T_i}\cdot \vec{v_i}=0$$ where $T$ …

Calculating the direction of friction on an inclined plane/Determining the fate of a round b...

Question: If a round object (say ring or a sphere) is kept on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ and coefficient of friction $\mu$ is such that it exactly balances the component of weight …
