Bilan des forces

[Ollyver]

Bonjour à tous,
Je voudrais trouver une traduction de: "un bilan des forces"
Je pense que je comprends le sens, mais je ne peux pas me rappeler l'équivalent anglais!

Mon essai:
"A list of forces"

C'est dans le contexte des exercices de physique - "Faire un bilan des forces extérieures..."

Merci!

Hello everyone,

I'd like to find a translation of "un bilan des forces". I think I know what it means, but I can't remember the exact English equivalent.

My attempt: "a list of forces"

It's in the context of physics exercises e.g. "Faire un bilan des forces extérieures" - List the external forces?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, the first step is to list them (as vectors), then normally you are expected to sum them vectorially.

Sorry I don't have the English equivalent.

"Summary of forces"? A "bilan" is an overall view of something. Taken from a "balance sheet" which gives not only the company's results but also the breakdown of the details behind the results, some positive, some negative.
