Corrections edit
The page contained this:
A free body possesses two fundamental properties that make the concept useful in analyzing static and dynamic equilibrium:
- The internal forces of the free body are, by definition, assumed to completely off-set one another so that the body as a whole is in static equilibrium.
- As a consequence, the body can be treated as a single entity with its total mass located entirely at the center of mass and subject to Newton's second law
I have removed these sentences because
1) A free body need not be in equilibrium 2) Forces need not act through the centre of mass - torques are quite okay
