Coaxial Force

A coaxial force refers to a force that acts along the same axis as the object or system to which it is applied. In other words, the force is applied in a direction parallel or along the axis of rotation or symmetry of the object.

Example:

• In rotating systems such as shafts, gears, or wheels, coaxial forces are those that act along the central axis of rotation. For example, in a rotating shaft, the torque applied along the axis is a coaxial force because it follows the axis of the shaft.
