To understand how to construct a free-body diagram for an object that can be treated as a particle. As shown, a crate with weight W hangs from a support rope that is tied to two other ropes at C. The two ropes are attached to tie-downs mounted on the ceiling at points A and B.

(Figure 1) Complete the free-body diagram of C by drawing the forces that act on it. The free-body diagram is a fundamental tool used in engineering mechanics. It is simply a sketch that shows the particle "free" from its Draw your vectors starting at point C.
