Drawing a free body diagram is a method often used by physicists working out kinetics or other mechanics problems to show all the mechanical vector forces acting on the given free body (or bodies) at any given time. Doing so can make it easier to understand the forces in relation to one another and suggest to the physicist the proper trigonometry to apply in order to find the solution to the problem.
