DD1: Sum of Forces¶
| Symbol | Unit |
|---|---|
| \(\sum\mathbf{F}\) | \(\text{N}\) |
Equation¶
\[
\sum\mathbf{F} = \mathbf{F_D}
\]
Description¶
The sum of all forces acting on the object.
This can include forces like drag (\(\mathbf{F_D}\)), lift (\(\mathbf{F_L}\)), thrust (\(\mathbf{F_T}\)), etc.
Notes¶
As for now we only consider the drag force (\(\mathbf{F_D}\)) in \(\sum\mathbf{F}\), as discussed in Assumptions.
