How do you find the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object?  We already looked at how to use a FBD to calculate the net applied force on an object, so now let's put it together with our knowledge about gravity (Fgrav = mg) and friction (Ffriction = μ fnormal) by using our equation: Fnet = ma.
