Thank you for elaborate reply! I understood this all from the beginning. However, I have written a script which should equilibrate 4 randomly located points on the circle, but I do not get square in the end. I did it in 2 ways: 1. I calculate net force by simply adding up 4 forces acting...

Forces are always perpendicular to the tangent of the circle at the point where they are applied. They are 1 unit and I randomly seed points to equlibrate them then. Circle there is just to show where points are allowed to move but is not a physical object. Actually, will something change if I...

Thank you! I was wondering would something change if connection between points will change? If there will be multiple connections to one point? And if I would like to calculate a force acting on one point (lets say 1), should I just sum up 3 forces F1 of the point and F4 and F2 of the neighbour...

Hi, I will be happy to do it, but I don't see how. When I press on add image it only suggests me to add an url. So I have uploaded it to one of the fileexchange servers, but apparently this is not working. FAQ also is not helpful. Just is case the link to file exchange: left - scheme, right -...

Homework Statement There is a system of 4 points located along a circle of radius R. Points are connected by undeformable ropes (pink on the picture). There is a force applied to each point. Scheme: https://we.tl/MsCEViCQdB I need to find resulting force in the system. The Attempt at a...
