How can I create a graph of the forces acting on an object like the one in the picture? enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}


\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

    Like your question tex.stackexchange.com/questions/303502/… this shows no effort of research

    Questions about how to draw specific graphics that just post an image of the desired result are really not reasonable questions to ask on the site. Please post a minimal compilable document showing that you've tried to produce the image and then people will be happy to help you with any specific problems you may have. See minimal working example (MWE) for what needs to go into such a document.

    You really should try at least something. There are many examples online. If you Google 'force diagram TIkZ', the first result has what you want...

You could at least fake like you're trying..

enter image description here

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns,calc}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \pattern[pattern=north east lines,thin] (0,0) rectangle (12,-.5    );
    \draw (0,0) -- (12,0);
    \draw[very thick] (3,0) rectangle +(6,3);
    \draw[very thick,blue,->] ($(6,1.5)+(.5,0)$) -- +(5,0) node[very near end,above] {$\bm F$};
    \draw[very thick,red,->] ($(6,1.5)+(-.5,0)$)-- +(-5,0) node[very near end,above] {$\bm F_d$};
    \draw[very thick,green,->] ($(6,1.5)+(0,.5)$)-- +(0,3) node[very near end,right] {$\bm F_n$};
    \draw[very thick,brown,->] ($(6,1.5)+(0,-.5)$) -- +(0,-3) node[very near end,right] {$\bm F_p$};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

  • The indices on the forces should be upright. Example: $\bm F_n$ should be coded as $\bm F_{\textnormal{n}}$. Read more about this here: link

Ok, for the first time help is needed. Enjoy

Output

\documentclass[border = 5mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
        \draw[dashed,black,fill=red!30, opacity=0.5] (-2,0) -- (2,0) -- (2,3) -- (-2,3) -- cycle;
        \draw[ultra thick,color=black] (-3,0) -- (3,0);
        \draw[thick,->,color=black] (.2,1.5) -- (2.5,1.5) node[above] {$F$};
        \draw[thick,->,color=black] (-.2,1.5) -- (-2.5,1.5) node[above] {$F_d$};
        \draw[thick,->,color=black] (0,1.3)--(0,-1.3) node[right] {$F_p$};
        \draw[thick,->,color=black] (0,1.7)--(0,3.7) node[right] {$F_N$};
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

  • Same comment here: The indices on the forces should be upright. Example: $\bm F_N$ should be coded as $\bm F_{\textnormal{N}}$. Read more about this here: link
