Newtonian mechanics discusses the movement of classical bodies under the influence of forces by applying Newton’s three laws. For more general concepts, use [classical-mechanics]. For Newton’s description of gravity, use [newtonian-gravity].

Tension in a massless string as it bends around a concave shape
I understand that tension in a massless string must be the same throughout when the string is straight, to prevent any section of it from accelerating at an infinite rate. However, I fail to see how t …

Reaction Force on String Wrapped Around Circular Peg
Consider the net torque on the segment of string wrapped around the peg about the peg's centre. The reaction force the peg exerts on the string at each point is radial, and so does not contribute to t …

Rod Falling on Frictionless Surface
A rigid rod with mass $m$ is initially held at an angle with respect to a frictionless plane by a string. Then the string is cut. What happens to the rod? My intuition suggests that the rod should sli …

Consistent method for finding direction of static friction
I am having trouble coming up with a consistent method of determining the direction of static friction.
So far the best I have come up with is: it should oppose the relative acceleration the contact …

Rod partially handing off edge of table
A uniform rigid rod of length $L$ lies at the edge of a frictionless table so length $x$ of the rod rests on the table and the rest is beyond its edge.
Intuition suggests that the rod will stay like …

Reaction Force on String Wrapped Around Circular Peg
A massless inextensible string is wrapped around a frictionless circular peg. The string is taut, with tension $T_2$ and $T_1$ at the points where it leaves of the pg as shown. The segment wrapped a …
