Net force vector is sum of forces ================================= The net force exerted on an object is equal to the vector sum of all the forces exerted on it. **Notation:** #. :math:`\sum_i x_i` (:code:`Sum(x_i, i)`) denotes a sum of :math:`x_i` over the index :math:`i`. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia, general principle `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.definitions.vector.net_force_vector_is_sum_of_forces .. py:data:: net_force Vector of the net :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.force` exerted on the body.
