Introduction: application of newton’s laws in problem solving

Describe the forces on the hip joint. What means are taken to ensure that this will be a good movable joint? From the photograph (for an adult) in [link] , estimate the dimensions of the artificial device.

It is difficult to categorize forces into various types. We know that a net force affects the motion, position, and shape of an object. It is useful at this point to look at some particularly interesting and common forces that will provide further applications of Newton’s laws of motion. We have in mind forces such as friction.
