On this model you will place a force vector on the disk by clicking on the desired attachment point. Next click on some other point and drag to set the head of the applied force vector. The program dynamically calculates the magnitude and direction of a the reaction vector, which acts at the center of mass. Any torque resulting from the applied and reaction force couple is reported on the display. Clicking on the clear data button clears all vectors for a new start.
