The formula to calculate the Downward Force (Fd) is:
\[ Fd = m \times AD \]
Where:
Let's say the mass (\( m \)) is 10 kg and the acceleration in the downward direction (\( AD \)) is 9.8 m/s². Using the formula:
\[ Fd = m \times AD = 10 \times 9.8 = 98 \text{ N} \]
So, the Downward Force (\( Fd \)) is 98 N.
A downward force is a force that pulls an object down. For example, the Earth's gravity pulls things down towards it, so we can say that gravity is a downward force.
