Question:
A container of weight W is suspended from ring A, to which cables AC and AE are attached. A force P is applied to the end F of a third cable which passes over a pulley at B and through ring A and which is attached to a support at D. Knowing that the tension in cable AC is 150 N, determine
(a) The magnitude of the force P,
(b) The weight W of the container.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
