When it comes to force equations on the MCAT, there is a long and short way to set up your equilibrium equations. This video shows you how to visualize and draw free body diagrams, followed by a shortcut for setting up your equations based on applying the logic that you see rather than working through too much math.
This video required a trigonometry foundation which you can learn HERE.

I can’t find the video on trigonometry that explains why you switched sin and cos.
thanks again for these videos. extremely helpful.
Hi Leah, are there plans to finish this anytime soon? Thanks, you rock 🙂
Thanks so much Leah!
I hope you complete this series
Can you please finish this series… I have never been good at physics and this intro has been beyond helpful.
Do you have an idea of when you’ll finish the series? It is really great.
I would love for you to finish the series! Taking the MCAT for the third time and hoping for clarification 🙁
Andrea: I stopped this series in favor of the greatly demanded amino acids video series
Hello Leah, thanks for the Physics videos ( motion, kinematics, vector, forces..etc). Just waiting Forces Practice Quiz to see how much I understand. I find this topic a little hard.
This series did not get the feedback I was hoping for so I switched to another series. I plan to finish it one day… but ultimately I create videos that are requested by students and members
